Collins was a 2017 UDFA signed by the Minnesota Vikings in 2017. The TCU product played for the Vikings through the 2020 season. He’s spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and was on the Dallas Cowboys last season.
Collins has played in seven regular season games in his NFL career. He played in both playoff games for the Cowboys in January. Collins earned a 59.1 overall grade for his player last season from Pro Football Focus.
Collins should be competing with Larry Borom and Alex Leatherwood during training camp for the Bears’ swing tackle spot on the 53-man roster.
Metz is a UDFA from Cincinnati the Bears picked up after April’s draft.
