Giants S Landon Collins Undergoing 2nd Surgery For Broken Arm

April 11, 2018

Update:

According to Art Stapleton, Giants S Landon Collins said that he is set to undergo his second surgery on his broken right forearm and will be out until training camp.

“I hate surgery,” Collins said, via Stapleton. “And then I’m thinking I’m fine and excited about this season, being on the field for OTAs [organized team activity]. It’s a bone. It’s going to come back stronger, so it shouldn’t affect nothing I’m trying to do [moving forward].”

Regarding his expiring rookie contract, Collins added he is letting the situation play out with GM Dave Gettleman and his agent.

“I‘m just letting it just work itself out. I’m not really going through the negotiating part,” Collins said. “I’m going to leave that between [general manager] Dave Gettleman and my agent and then go from there. From that point on, I’m just here trying to make new friends with my boys, new relationships and be a captain like I’ve always been.”

Mike Garafolo reports that Giants S Landon Collins‘ recovery from a broken forearm hasn’t gone as quickly as expected and could undergo a second surgery to help repair it.

Garafolo mentions that his timetable of recovery could be 6-8 weeks, but he would be back in time for training camp.

Collins recently told reporters that his arm was “100 percent,” but that apparently is not the case. Though Collins and the Giants have not made a final decision, Garafolo writes that surgery sounds “very possible.”

He landed on the team’s injured reserve in December after suffering the injury in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Collins, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Giants back in 2015. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $6.12 million rookieÂ contract that included $4.459 million guaranteed and stands to make a base salary of $1,269,621 for the 2018 season.

In 2017, Collins appeared in 15 games for the Giants and recorded 104 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble, two recoveries and six pass defenses.
