NFL reinstates Cowboys OL La'el Collins after five-game suspension Collins started and played 83 snaps in Dallas' 31-29 season-opening loss at Tampa Bay. That was his first game since the 2019 season.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
La'el Collins - Back from suspension Collins had his suspension lifted by the NFL on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Collins recently had his appeal denied and completed the five-game ban for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse, and he's now been reinstated. The Cowboys can utilize a roster exemption so he doesn't immediately have to rejoin the active roster, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. Dallas has a bye in Week 7, so Collins will have a full week off to get back up to speed before retaking his starting post at right tackle.
