Jon Gruden spent a lot of time during training camp talking up free-agent addition Maliek Collins. But the defensive tackle has gotten off a to disappointing start to the 2020 season, and the Las Vegas Raiders head coach had a talk with Collins about it on Monday.
In his follow-up press briefing after the Raiders’ 36-20 defeat at New England on Sunday, Gruden told reporters that he met with Collins to try to get him out of his funk.
Collins has not been active at all in the first three games — he’s not being disruptive and is not getting any interior penetration.
