La El Collins looks good

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.

With Ford's ability to play both Guard and Tackle, I would think that his mission is to secure a spot on the 53 by displacing Hakeem Adeneji from the roster.  My guess that the real battle is between Williams and Carman, with the winner starting at RT, and the other is the swing Tackle, until Collins becomes fully cleared to play and further muddies the water.
