Daily Dawg Tags: Some good news on Jamie Collins
By Thomas Moore
The Cleveland Browns received some much needed good news on Monday as linebacker Jamie Collins has been cleared to return to practice.
A week after seeing defensive end Myles Garrett make his debut, the Cleveland Browns may be one step closer to having their full defense on the field at the same time.
On Monday the team announced that linebacker Jamie Collins, who has missed three consecutive games with a concussion, has been medically cleared and can resume practicing this week as the Browns prepare to take on the Houston Texans.
That is great news as the defense, while showing potential, has struggled to put together a full game so far this season as various players have missed time with injury.
If the Browns can get Collins back on the field, and Garrett works his way into being a full-time player, the defense should be a fun one to watch through the rest of the season.
