They don't expect him back until later in the season at best. Torn ACL in his knee at end of season.

Brown will be starting at left tackle, which means Cincinnati could move Jonah Williams to right tackle. Collins was already a cut candidate before this move.

The Bengals' eventual move could be to cut Collins with a post-June 1st designation. Cincinnati would have just under $7.8 million in cap savings with just over $1.6 million in dead money, according to Over The Cap.

Considering the tackle tore his ACL and MCL in the playoffs last season, he has very little chance of playing much if at all this upcoming season. It is also a major injury added to a laundry list of injury issues Collins has had in his career.
