La'el Collins Won't Play Again This Season
2 years agoCincinnati Bengals right tackle La'el Collins (knee) will miss the rest of the season. The veteran left Saturday's win over the Patriots after injuring his knee. While there was a belief he dodged a bullet upon an initial examination, an MRI on Sunday revealed he suffered a torn ACL and MCL. The 29-year-old agreed to a three-year contract with Cincinnati back in March to add stability to an offensive line that struggled during the 2021-22 campaign. While things have gotten better, the unit still hasn't looked the best at times throughout the season. Nevertheless, Collins is anticipated to need seven months to recover, so he could be ready to go by Week 1 next season. Hakeem Adeniji is expected to replace him for the remainder of the year.
