Lions’ Jamie Collins: Restructuring contract
Jamie Collins’ (neck) contract will be restructured to create salary cap space, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.Collins’ cap number is currently $11.3 million, which will likely be lowered significantly in order to create salary cap space. The 31-year-old managed triple digits in tackles again during his 2020 campaign (101), and he’ll look to build on that number in the upcoming season now that his 2021 roster spot appears secured.

Lions’ Jamie Collins: Another 100-tackle season
Jamie Collins (neck) racked up 101 tackles, one sack, six pass breakups and three forced fumbles over 14 games in 2020.Within arguably the worst linebacking corps in the NFL, Collins again showed his worth as one of the most versatile linebackers in the league despite his advanced age (31). Not only was he, once again, a highly versatile chess piece that helped out in both the run and passing game, Collins came through in the stat sheet as well with his second 100-tackle campaign in the past three years. While one can certainly question his production as a pass rusher, nitpickers should keep in mind that Detroit — which allowed franchise-worst marks in points (519) and yards allowed (6,978) in 2020 — gave opponents little reason to go away from the run game this year. Not to mention, there were few other Detroit Lions defenders that opposing offenses actually needed to account for. With two more years left on his contract at a very team-friendly rate of $10 million per season, Collins should again be a significant IDP contributor in 2021. That he was able to fit in a limited practice before ultimately sitting out Week 17 suggests Collins’ neck injury isn’t overly concerning.

Jamie Collins (neck) was a non-participant at Wednesday’s practice.Collins is coming off his first missed game of the 2020 campaign.

Lions’ Jamie Collins: Missing first game of 2020
Jamie Collins (neck) is listed as inactive for Saturday’s matchup against the Buccaneers.Collins sat out the entire practice week after his 79 percent defensive snap share in last Sunday’s loss to Tennessee represented his lowest since Week 2.

Lions’ Jamie Collins: Questionable for Saturday
Jamie Collins (neck) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s contest against Tampa Bay, Tim Twentyman of the Detroit Lions’ official site reports.Collins was unable to practice at all this week, so he appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Saturday. The veteran leads Detroit with 101 tackles this season, so his absence against a tough Buccaneers squad would be a tough blow to a defense that is giving up a league-worst 31.1 points per game.

Lions’ Jamie Collins: Misses practice Wednesday
Jamie Collins (neck) did not practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Detroit Lions’ official site reports.The Lions didn’t hold practice Tuesday, but Collins was listed as an estimated DNP for that session as well. Given that this is a short week for Detroit — they play Tampa Bay on Saturday — logging at least a limited session Thursday could be crucial for Collins’ chances of suiting up. Reggie Ragland would likely start in Collins’ place if the latter is unable to play Saturday.
