Overview

• Collins impressed in a Friday workout and was signed to shore up protection on the right side of the line.
• The 32-year-old veteran started 71 of 74 games across three stints in Dallas but has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2022.
• Quarterback Dak Prescott publicly endorsed Collins’s return, saying he hopes the veteran “kills this workout.”
• Starting left tackle Tyler Guyton and guard Rob Jones are sidelined with fractures, and several other linemen are dealing with knee soreness and concussions.
• The move underscores Dallas’s reliance on familiar talent and swift response to fill gaps as injuries mount.
