CINCINNATI -- One of Cincinnati's former prized signings is now a free agent.
The Bengals released offensive tackle La'el Collins from the team's physically unable to perform list, according to the NFL's daily transaction report.
Collins had been recovering from torn ligaments in his left knee suffered in a Week 16 game against the New England Patriots last season. He was placed on the PUP list ahead of training camp as he continued the rehab process.
The seven-year veteran signed with the Bengals in the 2022 offseason and started 15 games at right tackle.
