Cowboys news: La’el Collins status as a starter this week is a question upon his return

The Cowboys will be getting a big piece back on Sunday, but is he ready to go?

Collins has only started one game (this year’s season opener at Tampa Bay) since the end of the 2019 season. He spent all of 2020 on injured reserve with a hip injury that required surgery, ad this year’s suspension has sidelined him five of six games. He also had limited practice time late in training camp because of a neck stinger.

Second-year right tackle Terence Steele filled in for 14 starts as a rookie and has shown obvious improvement in five starts for Collins this year.
