It looks like Germain Ifedi cleared waivers.  I'm thinking Collins was brought in for a look in case Ifedi was picked up by another team.

He's been on the team active for a while.  I don't see why they would sign someone else.

Wouldn't be surprised in Ifedi is signed to the PS soon.

IMO.

 

 

It's not implausible that they could add both Ifedi and Collins to the PS.   During the season they might prefer to keep some young guys on the PS but going into the playoffs you probably want more veterans who you can trust to step in and start the next week in the event of catastrophic injuries.    They aren't risking much by releasing young players from the PS this late in the season.    They've basically been unclaimed free agents all season,  have no runway left to show themselves off in practice with other teams and are just going to be signing futures deals in the January.

I could see that if they liked Collin a lot in his workout.  I agree with the veteran thing.  

The young guys that have been on the PS for a while will no doubt sign Reserve/Futures if offered after the season.

So I hate to break the narrative, but wasn’t this guy playing OK ball at the end for us

He was. Once he kicked inside to guard he was ok. Not starter material, but would be acceptable depth inside.

 

He also chipped in at the "6th OL" position last year and did very well. 

 

He finished with a 52 overall PFF grade for us in 2022 which was up from his 33.7 the year before.
