To say Landon Collins was sidelined by an injury last week would be incorrect.
True, the Giants' rookie safety with a knee sprain was not practicing with the rest of the team and he did sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars. But Collins was pretty active during those practices in particular, at times sprinting to the football and racing the other healthy players to the line of scrimmage.
In fact, very little of his time was spent on an actual sideline.
"That's his game," Tom Coughlin said of the second-round pick who is expected to become an important player - and more significantly, an important voice - in the secondary.
