Working with edge rushers
Collins has been lining up as an edge rusher during minicamp practices, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Collins primarily played inside linebacker during his first two NFL season. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said a decision hasn't been made whether the 23-year-old will continue to line up on the edge come the start of the regular season, but where on defense Collins plays will be worth tracking throughout the spring and summer.

Sitting out Week 18
Collins (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Collins will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale after failing to practice during Week 18 prep with a calf injury, marking his first absence of the season. The 2021 first-round pick stepped up into a bigger role during his second season with Arizona, as he's logged the team's third-most tackles heading into Week 18. In his absence, Ben Niemann and Kamu Grugier-Hill should be in line for increased snaps versus San Francisco.

Sits out second practice Thursday
Collins (calf) was listed as a non-participant on the Cardinals' injury report Thursday.
Analysis: Collins logged seven tackles while playing 95 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. However, it appears he came away from the contest with a calf injury, which has kept him sidelined for the first two practices during Week 18 prep. Collins has recorded a career-high 100 tackles, two sacks and six passes defended, including a pick-six, across 16 games this season. He'll now have one more opportunity to increase his practice activity before the regular-season finale against…read more

Tallies seven stops in loss
Collins recorded seven tackles (six solo) and a pass defended during Sunday's 20-19 defeat versus Atlanta.
Analysis: Collins defended a pass for the second game in a row, increasing his season total in this category to six. The second-year linebacker has now accumulated 100 tackles over 16 games after stepping into an every-down role this season. Collins will look to record the first double-digit tackle performance of his career Week 18 against San Francisco.

Accrues seven tackles in Week 11
Collins totaled seven tackles during Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Collins followed up a season-low tackle tally (three) from Week 10 with a more typical stat line one game later. He's one of two Cardinals with at least 70 tackles (71, to be precise) alongside safety Budda Baker (85), helping Colllins rank in a tie for 35th in the NFL with the Seahawks' Cody Barton. Collins will aim to keep it up Sunday versus the Chargers before Arizona's Week 13 bye.

Scores first career touchdown
Collins recorded seven tackles, including a tackle for loss, and a pick-six during Sunday's 31-21 defeat to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Collins has been consistent on the tackle front in his second pro campaign, hovering between four and nine per week en route to 61 through nine games. Aside from a two-sack Week 6, though, he didn't make much of an impact in box scores elsewhere until his acrobatic interception of Seattle quarterback Geno Smith on Sunday that he returned 30 yards to the house. The Cardinals expect to be without leading tackler Budda Baker for a few weeks due to a high-ankle sprain, so Collins may have elevated…read more

Totals five tackles Sunday
Collins accrued five tackles and one pass defense during Sunday's 34-26 loss in Minnesota.
Analysis: Through eight games, Collins has reached five tackles on seven occasions, helping him rank second on the Cardinals in tackles (54) behind Budda Baker (60). Aside from a two-sack Week 6 in Seattle, though, Collins doesn't have much else on his overall ledger this season. With another matchup against the Seahawks on tap Sunday, he'll look to get after Seattle quarterback Geno Smith yet again.

Ready for Thursday Night Football
Collins (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest versus the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After being listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Collins had a cap on his reps at Tuesday's session and handled every rep at Wednesday's walkthrough. With his availability confirmed ahead of Thursday, he'll again serve as one of Arizona's top producers of tackles along with safeties Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson (hamstring, questionable), assuming the latter is active.

Still dealing with shoulder injury
Collins (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: During Sunday's 19-9 loss in Seattle, Collins went off for nine tackles, including two sacks, and he now ranks second on the Cards in terms of tackles (41) behind safety Budda Baker (45) through six games. Collins has been dealing with a shoulder issue since a Week 3 matchup against the Rams, but he's proceeded to earn 100 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the team's last three contests. He'll look to ditch his injury designation ahead of Thursday's outing against the Saints.

Cleared for Week 5
Collins doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Collins logged back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday due to a a shoulder issue but returned to full participation Friday, putting him in line to suit up in Week 5. The second-year linebacker has recorded 27 tackles and one forced fumble while playing nearly every defensive snap across the first four games of the season.

Stays limited at practice
Collins (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Collins had a cap on his practice reps during Week 4 prep, but he still suited up this past Sunday in Carolina and paced the Cardinals in tackles with eight. Through four games, he ranks fifth on the team in defensive snap share (92.9 percent), while his most-recent performance has pushed him to a close third in tackles (27) behind safeties Budda Baker (32) and Jalen Thompson (28). Collins will look to get rid of his designation for a Week 5 matchup with the Eagles.

Will play
Collins (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Panthers.
Analysis: Collins was limited in practice all week after suffering the injury in a Week 3 loss to the Rams. He should start alongside Isaiah Simmons at inside linebacker.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Collins (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Collins was limited at practices throughout the week due to a shoulder injury he picked up during the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams. While the second-year linebacker had to be removed from the contest, he avoided a major injury and has a chance to suit up against Carolina, but Collins may still miss at least one game to avoid a potential setback. If he's ruled out for Week 4, Nick Vigil would be a likely candidate to start in Collins' absence.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Collins (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Collins was unable to return after picking up a shoulder injury during the second half of the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams. Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that the linebacker avoided a serious injury, but Collins still isn't out of the woods yet. Arizona's practice report Thursday and Friday should provide further clarity on Collins' status for Week 4.

Shoulder injury not serious
Collins suffered only a minor shoulder injury in the Cardinals' 20-12 loss to the Rams on Sunday per head coach Kliff Kingsbury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Collins suffered the injury in the second half of the loss and was unable to return. However, barring any setbacks, it appears Collins should be able to suit up Sunday when the Cardinals battle the Panthers.

Larger role in store in 2022
Collins is in line for a starting role at inside linebacker for the Cardinals in 2022 after the offseason release of Jordan Hicks, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Despite selecting an inside linebacker in the first round for the second consecutive draft last year, Arizona rolled with Hicks and 2020 first-rounder Isaiah Simmons in 2021. Both Hicks and Simmons sprung for more than 100 tackles and at least 950 snaps, while Collins' output was more stated (25 tackles on 361 snaps between defense and special teams). With Hicks out of town, Collins will team with Simmons in the middle of the Cardinals defense moving forward. Assuming he takes on most of Hicks'…read more

Absent from injury report
Collins (shoulder) is not listed on the Cardinals' injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Collins exited the Cardinals' Week 8 loss to the Packers early after injuring his shoulder. With that being a Thursday game, he has had a few extra days to recover. As a result, it appears he will resume his usual role providing depth at linebacker, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Injures shoulder Thursday
Collins hurt his right shoulder during the first quarter of Thursday's game versus the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Collins suffered the injury on a 12-yard run by Green Bay running back AJ Dillon and required assistance to get off the field.

Facing charges after arrest
Collins was arrested and charged Sunday for excessive speed and reckless driving, according to the Scottsdale (Ariz.) Police Department.
Analysis: Collins was spotted going 76 mph in a 35-mph zone, precipitating a traffic stop. He later was released and now awaits trial on a charge that is deemed to be a Class 2 misdemeanor and could result in jail time. However the case breaks, the Cardinals and the NFL will wait for the legal process to play out before levying any sort of punishment. In the meantime, Collins will continue to prepare for his rookie campaign after the Cardinals selected him 16th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft to serve as…read more

Inside track to starting job
Collins is expected to work as the Cardinals' starting MIKE linebacker, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Accordingly, the team has given veteran middle linebacker Jordan Hicks permission to seek a trade, following back-to-back seasons with 16 starts and triple-digit tackles. Collins and Isaiah Simmons, the Cardinals' first-round picks from the past two springs, are expected to be the starting inside linebackers come Week 1. Collins has the build of an edge rusher at 6-foot-5, 259 pounds, but he's apparently more comfortable playing as an off-ball linebacker. In three seasons at Tulsa, the No. 16…read more
