La’el Collins faced doubts about his ability to return to full health after suffering a severe knee injury in December 2022. Despite being unemployed for most of the year, Collins worked his way back and ended the season on the practice squad with the Dallas Cowboys. However, he didn’t get to play in any games during his return.
Collins has now signed with the Buffalo Bills as a free agent this offseason, with the goal of completing his comeback in the upcoming season. He admitted that while he may have been physically prepared to return before the season ended, mentally he felt drained and empty. But after working with the Bills, Collins is feeling motivated and ready to contribute.
Collins expressed his gratitude for the opportunity with the Bills and stated his commitment to giving his all to the team and the fans. He emphasized his eagerness to play football, dominate on the field, and support his teammates in any way necessary. Despite returning from an injury, Collins has versatility as he can play guard, a position he excelled in during his rookie season with the Cowboys. With a renewed sense of purpose and determination, Collins is prepared to give his all and help the Bills achieve success in the upcoming season.
