The New England Patriots activated veteran linebacker Jamie Collins from injured reserve in advance of Monday night’s matchup with the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.
Collins, 32, had been moved to injured reserve on Nov. 13 due to an ankle injury before seeing his 21-day practice window open on Dec. 1.
The Southern Mississippi product’s third tour with the organization that drafted him in the second round back in 2013 has spanned five appearances. He has recorded seven tackles, one sack and one interception over that span while playing 59 snaps on defense and 44 snaps on special teams.
