La’el Collins has reportedly been diagnosed with a torn ACL and MCL
. He is out for the season and will embark upon what is projected to be a seven-month recovery.
Collins, who initially passed an on-field exam and believed he had dislocated his kneecap, had his injuries discovered in a postgame MRI. The Bengals signed Collins in the offseason to bolster their notoriously shaky offensive line, scooping up the seven-year veteran after the Cowboys released him to clear $10 million in cap space.
After some initial bumps in the road, Collins and the line gelled and became critical to Cincinnati's success. When the line helped the Bengals beat the Chiefs on Dec. 4, Collins called Cincinnati's unit "a very special offensive line." The Bengals are one game clear of the Ravens in the division standings with two games to go against the Bills and Baltimore, both at home.
