Maliek Collins News
Houston Texans defensive lineman Maliek Collins (chest) exited Sunday's game versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old is questionable to return, so if he's done for the remainder of Week 7, he'll finish with only one tackle. Collins has 12 total tackles in 2022-23. As a result, there shouldn't be too many disappointed IDP managers if he misses time moving ahead.
The Houston Texans re-signed defensive tackle Maliek Collins to a two-year, $17 million deal on Tuesday that includes $8.5 million guaranteed, according to his agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. Collins will return to the Texans as a valuable run-stuffer on the interior of the defensive line in Houston. The Texans were one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in 2021. Collins had 29 tackles (18 solo), nine tackles for loss, seven QB hits, one interception, a fumble recovery and 2.5 sacks in 15 starts in 2021 in his first year with the team. The 26-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2016 draft by the Dallas Cowboys out of Nebraska.
Former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Maliek Collins reached an agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Houston Texans on Monday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The 310-pound defensive tackle was a third-round pick by the Cowboys out of Nebraska back in 2016 and spent the first four seasons of his career in Dallas. Collins spent the 2020 season with the Las Vegas Raiders, recording 15 combined tackles (eight solo), one QB hit and no sacks in 12 games (11 starts). If he can stay healthy, the 25-year-old should be a starter on Houston's defensive line and should help replace J.J. Watt, who was released and signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Collins has 14.5 career sacks in 73 games over five NFL seasons.
