Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that offensive tackle La'el Collins is dealing with a back issue he's experienced previously.
On Wednesday, Taylor said Collins is expected to be ready for the start of the season.
The Bengals placed Collins on the Active/Non-Football Injury list last Saturday. He can be activated at any time.
Taylor added Monday that Collins feels good, and the team didn't want to rush him back for the start of training camp. He also said Collins' workload will be managed, with the goal for him to be ready for the start of the season.
