The Cleveland Browns placed DT Maliek Collins on the PUP list, per the NFL’s Official Transaction Wire.
Collins has been out since Week 13 of last season after suffering a season-ending quad injury.
Collins, 31, is a former third-round pick of the Cowboys from Nebraska back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3,550,180 contract when he agreed to a deal with the Raiders in 2020.
His stint with the Raiders lasted just one year and Collins signed another one-year deal with the Texans in free agency for the 2021 season. He returned on a two-year, $17 million deal for the 2022 season.
Houston re-signed him to a two-year, $23 million deal before trading him to San Francisco in March 2024 in exchange for a seventh-round pick. San Francisco later restructured his deal and then released him as a cap casualty in 2025.
Collins quickly signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Browns after being cut.
In 2025, Collins appeared in 12 games for the Browns and recorded 25 total tackles, 6.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
