Collins: “Great Opportunity” To Start; Ready To Show He’s Earned It

IRVING, Texas – Rookie La’el Collins will make his second career start at left guard Oct. 25 against the Giants, but in a way, it might seem like his first start – a chance to prove he can be a week-to-week contributor on the offensive line.
