He was listed at 320 lbs last year, definitely looks lighter than that right now.
It will be VERY interesting if he's ready to come back in Sept or early Oct.
Would Jonah go to the bench if Collins is looking fine given Collins is signed through 2024?
Would they play Jonah regardless given he's getting $12.6 mill guaranteed?
Would they actually split reps in games like Bengals did with Evan Mathis and Nate Livings back in the day?
And that's not even mentioning Jackson Carman or Cody Ford, who also could push both Jonah and Collins out of that RT spot.
With that said, it's an uphill climb for Carman and especially Ford to get that starting RT spot over Jonah and Collins, I think.
Collins has 3 full months to get ready. He looks way ahead of schedule. A recovered in great shape Collins give me all day long for my starting RT
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
