The Washington Redskins finally got Landon Collins on the field for OTAs.
Collins had been restricted in his offseason work while recovering from offseason surgery to correct a torn labrum in his shoulder. That issue, of course, didn’t stop the Redskins from giving him a massive deal in free agency.
Tuesday, Collins was out there like normal in seven-on-seven looks and got some time in 11-on-11 work as well.
“I can’t take no time off,” Collins said, according to Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post. “That’s just me. I can’t sit around. I’ve been sitting around the past three [offseasons] I’ve been hurt. Just getting out here getting the reps, getting the guys underneath my belt and stuff like that. Just getting hand-to-hand combat, it helps a lot.”
The appearance is a big boon for a defense already concerned enough with finding a starter for next to Collins in the secondary.
Barring something unforeseen, this should clear the way for Collins as far as the rest of the summer is concerned.
