MALIEK COLLINS NEWS

Moved to IR The Browns placed Collins (quadriceps) on the injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Collins was carted off the field in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss to the 49ers with a severe hip injury. The defensive tackle requires season-ending surgery, so the move to injured reserve is no surprise. Shelby Harris is the likely starter at defensive tackle opposite Mason Graham for the rest of the 2025 campaign.
