  • Shifts to IR

    Collins (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks signed running back Josh Johnson off the practice squad to join the roster as a replacement for Collins, who has been troubled by the abdominal injury off and on throughout the season. Prior to being sidelined for four out of Seattle's last five games -- three times due to the injury and once due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list -- Collins had picked up six starts in the wake of Chris Carson's season-ending neck injury. Despite the big opportunity afforded to him, Collins…read more

  • Inactive Week 17

    Collins (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions,

    Analysis: Collins will take a seat for the third consecutive game, but unlike the Week 16 loss to the Bears, the veteran running back technically is sitting Sunday due to his lingering abdominal injury. Rashaad Penny once again should handle lead-back duties for Seattle versus Detroit's vulnerable run defense.

  • Questionable for Sunday's game

    Collins (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Rashaad Penny taking over as the lead back down the stretch this season, Collins was inactive last week despite being cleared from the final injury report. He isn't likely to see more than a handful of touches even if he plays this Sunday.

  • Another limited showing

    Collins (abdomen) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

    Analysis: Collins seemingly is in a holding pattern, as he's only missed practice since Week 11 prep when he was away from the team from Dec. 16-22 due to a bout with COVID-19. While only one of his three absences over the last four games was attributed to the virus, the others technically were healthy scratches. Coach Pete Carroll spoke of Collins on Monday, telling Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times that the running back didn't play this past Sunday versus the Bears because the Seahawks "need to make…read more

  • Stays limited at practice

    Collins (abdomen) was limited at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins has missed three of the last four games due to a combination of a lingering abdominal injury and a bout with COVID-19. Considering Collins still has a cap on his practice reps at the beginning of Week 17 prep, he may not be ready to rejoin what is a relatively healthy backfield led by Rashaad Penny, with DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer in reserve roles. Collins has two sessions left this week to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions.

  • Surprise inactive Sunday

    Collins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Collins missed the Week 15 loss to the Rams while on the reserve/COVID-19 list and in the final stages of his recovery from an abdominal injury. The veteran running back shed the former designation Wednesday and was back to full practice participation by Friday, indicating the latter issue also seemingly was resolved. Nevertheless, Collins will serve as what amounts to a healthy scratch Sunday, leaving the Seattle backfield in the hands of some combination of Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and…read more

  • Fine for Sunday

    Collins (abdomen) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Collins has been playing through a groin/abdomen injury for most of the year, sitting out just once (Week 13) because of it, though he did miss last week's game on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Collins also lost the lead role to Rashaad Penny, most recently seeing seven carries and one target on 23 percent of snaps in the Week 14 win over Houston.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Collins (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This has been the norm for Collins for a good portion of the campaign. Assuming he's cleared to play this weekend -- whether it's via Friday's injury report or ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff -- he likely will work in a secondary role out of the Seahawks backfield behind Rashaad Penny and alongside DeeJay Dallas. However, fellow running back Travis Homer (illness) is a candidate to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and be available to the offense.

  • Limited by abdominal issue

    Collins (abdomen) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While the Seahawks activated Collins from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, he still is dealing with an injury to his midsection. He joins current top running back Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas on the active roster, with Travis Homer (illness) still on the COVID-19 list himself. Assuming Collins can play through his health concern and Homer is unable to clear league protocols, he'll contend with Dallas for reps behind Penny in Sunday's game against the Bears.

  • Removed from COVID-19 list

    Seattle activated Collins (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins should be available for Sunday's game against the Bears, though likely just as the backup to Rashaad Penny, who has taken double-digit carries in three straight games. Assuming Seattle is comfortable with Penny as its lead option on the ground, Collins likely won't have much of a role in the game plan, as head coach Pete Carroll seemingly prefers DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer (reserve/COVID-19 list) for passing-down work.

  • Not activated for Tuesday's game

    Collins (illness) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins has been tending to an abdominal injury in recent weeks, but it's his positive COVID-19 test that will keep him sidelined Tuesday for the second time in three games. Though Collins is vaccinated, he's apparently still symptomatic of the virus since testing positive Thursday. Collins' absence should give Rashaad Penny some extra security as the Seahawks' clear No. 1 option on the ground in Los Angeles, as DeeJay Dallas and practice-squad call-up Josh Johnson represent the lone depth…read more

  • Seahawks-Rams moved to Tuesday

    Collins (illness) and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

    Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay could also provide sufficient time for Collins to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Thursday, with his potential availability hinging on whether or not he's experiencing any symptoms.

  • Tests positive, may play Sunday

    Collins' placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday was the result of a positive test, but he could still clear the necessary protocols in time to play Sunday against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Along with Collins, the Seahawks placed Tyler Lockett on the list Thursday after he too tested positive, but since both players are vaccinated, they'll have a shot at being available this weekend. Per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com, the NFL and NFLPA reached agreement Thursday on changes to the return-to-play COVID-19 protocol, which will allow players who are vaccinated and asymptomatic to rejoin their teams as soon as 24 hours after an initial positive test. The Seahawks haven't yet disclosed…read more

  • Goes on reserve/COVID-19 list

    The Seahawks placed Collins (abdomen) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Per usual, Collins is tending to an injury to his midsection this week, and now he becomes the third Seahawk overall to be placed on the COVID-19 list along with Tyler Lockett (undisclosed) on Thursday and Gerald Everett earlier this season. If Collins can't play Sunday at the Rams, Seattle still will have some combination of Travis Homer (hamstring), DeeJay Dallas and practice squad member Adrian Peterson (lower back) behind the team's current top RB, Rashaad Penny.

  • Puts in limited practice

    Collins (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per usual, the Seahawks are managing Collins' reps due to an abdominal injury. After sitting out Week 13 with the issue, he returned this past Sunday in Houston and earned a 23 percent share of snaps on his way to eight touches for 17 yards from scrimmage. Collins took a back seat to Rashaad Penny, who turned 58 percent of snaps into 17 touches for 138 total yards and two touchdowns. As for the rest of the backfield, Travis Homer (calf/hamstring) was sidelined Week 14, DeeJay Dallas had two…read more

  • Takes backseat to Penny

    Collins rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Collins returned to action after missing a game due to an abdominal injury. However, Rashaad Penny started the game and finished with a 57 percent snap share, ringing up 138 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in the process. Meanwhile, Collins recorded 13 offensive snaps (23 percent). Penny appears to be Seattle's top back moving forward, though Collins will be the next man up if Penny falters.

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Collins (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Houston, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins missed Seattle's Week 13 win over San Francisco with a groin injury he's been nursing for a couple months, allowing Adrian Peterson to step up and work in a committee with Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer (out/calf). With Homer out of the picture and Peterson not spotted at practice this week (he's technically still on the practice squad), Collins could be back in the lead runner role this Sunday, though he'd likely still share snaps with Penny and DeeJay Dallas.

    Analysis: Collins maintained his activity level for a second straight session, one day removed from coach Pete Carroll telling Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that the running back feels "considerably better" due to nagging injuries to his midsection. Friday's practice report may clear Collins outright for Week 14 action at Houston, but even if it doesn't he seems to be trending toward a return after sitting out this past Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: A surprise scratch for the Seahawks this past Sunday against the 49ers, Collins is back to his usual limited self on the team's first Week 14 practice report due to an abdominal issue. Head coach Pete Carroll told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Collins is "considerably better," indicating that the recent absence was beneficial for the running back's health. Elsewhere in the backfield, Travis Homer (calf/hamstring) was also limited Wednesday, Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas were…read more

  • Should be available next week

    Head coach Pete Carroll said after Sunday's victory over the 49ers that Collins (abdomen) should be able to play in next week's game against the Texans, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Collins sat out Sunday for the first time since Week 1, but that could be the extent of his absence, as Carroll added that the running back "needed a week off." Collins was expected to work behind at least Adrian Peterson and possibly another back or two had he suited up Sunday, so if he does return in Week 14 it seems unlikely it will be as the starter.

  • Surprise scratch Sunday

    Collins (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

    Analysis: With Chris Carson (neck) sidelined since Week 5 and now out for the season, Collins has been the de facto lead running back for the Seahawks, averaging 13.4 touches per game over the last seven outings. Collins himself has been tending to injuries to his midsection for most of that stretch, and with the addition of Adrian Peterson this week, the team has opted to give the former the game off.

  • Set to lose work to Peterson

    Collins (abdomen), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to cede duties as Seattle's lead ball carrier to Adrian Peterson even if he's active for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Along with Rashaad Penny (hamstring) and Travis Homer (calf), Collins is one of three Seattle running backs listed as questionable for Week 13, with Peterson and DeeJay Dallas representing the lone healthy options. The decision to elevate Peterson from the practice squad implies that at least one of the four other backs will be inactive this week, but even if Collins gains clearance to play, he looks like he'll have a much smaller role than usual. Since Chris Carson (neck) suffered a…read more

On the other hand, Collins has been playing through an abdomen/groin injury for the past two months without missing a game, whereas Penny and Homer were inactive last week.

    Collins (abdomen) was limited at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Such is Collins' reality since Week 7, as limited listings on Seahawks injury reports eventually make way for active status on game days. During that five-game stretch, though, he's averaged just 11.2 touches for 40 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring no touchdowns. Collins will look to ditch his designation upon the release of Friday's practice report.

  • Still limited on injury report

    Collins was limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to an abdominal injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: From Weeks 7 through 11, Collins was listed with a groin injury on practice reports, but it's been the aforementioned abdominal concern that's affected his reps the last two weeks. Since getting hurt, he's hovered between 37 and 49 percent of the offensive snaps over the last five games, but he's dominated the reps out of the backfield to the tune of 56 touches for 200 yards from scrimmage. As for Collins' position mates, Chris Carson (neck) is out for the season, while Rashaad Penny…read more

  • Fumbles in loss

    Collins rushed seven times for 14 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards but lost a fumble in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Collins was stuffed in the running game and stripped on his lone reception of the night, making for a disappointing performance. Although backup DeeJay Dallas wasn't very productive either, he at least caught all five of his targets, helping him accumulate 31 yards from scrimmage. Seattle's banged-up backfield could offer Collins the chance to rebound in Week 13 versus the 49ers, but his mediocre play of late as well as Dallas' pass-catching utility are reasons to temper optimism over Collins'…read more

    Collins (abdomen) has no injury designation for Monday's game at Washington, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins will continue playing through the groin injury, but while he could see some extra snaps/touches with both Rashaad Penny (hamstring) and Travis Homer (calf) ruled out, it'll likely be DeeJay Dallas getting most of the playing time on passing downs. Seattle might end up activating a third running back from the practice squad, with BJ Emmons and Josh Johnson being the options.

    Collins (abdomen) was a limited practice participant Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks now are calling it an abdominal injury rather than a groin injury, but apart from that, it's the usual route of limited practices for Collins, who has double-digit carries in seven straight games but is averaging just 49.7 rushing yards per game and 3.8 YPC in that stretch. He also has just eight targets all year, with DeeJay Dallas or Travis Homer getting most of the backfield snaps in hurry-up, third-down and long-yardage situations.

    Collins (abdomen) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks backfield currently is more banged-up than at any point this season. Chris Carson has been shut down for the season and soon will undergo neck surgery. Both Collins and Travis Homer (calf) were 'limited' Thursday, while Rashaad Penny (hamstring) wouldn't have practiced at all. Collins has played through injuries for some time now, but the situation behind him could be any combination of Penny, Homer and DeeJay Dallas on Monday at Washington.

  • Mostly quiet game

    Collins ran for 36 yards on 10 carries against Arizona on Sunday.

    Analysis: Seattle's home loss was even less competitive than the 23-13 final score implied, so the flow of the game made it difficult for Collins and the Seattle ground game to stay involved. DeeJay Dallas operated as Seattle's primary passing-down back, and as long as that's the case Collins might be dependent on rushing production for fantasy value. Most 3-7 teams find themselves trailing often, so Collins' consistency and upside might suffer as a result, but when there's running to be done he's still…read more

    Analysis: Fantasy managers may have had some reason for concern after Collins took a step back from limited practice activity Wednesday to no participation Thursday, but he's on track to get enough work in at Friday's session to suit up Sunday. The Seahawks apparently were just giving him some rest to manage a groin injury that's been lingering for weeks, but Collins should remain the leader of a Seattle rushing game that's been relatively unproductive lately.

    Analysis: For a fourth straight week of prep, Collins is contending with a groin issue, but he's rarely missed practice during that span. Thursday's development may be maintenance related to keep him as fresh as possible in a backfield that is waiting for Chris Carson to get past lingering neck soreness. Carson is in the midst of his 21-day practice window but now is one week removed from his last bit of on-field work.

    Analysis: Collins (30) and Travis Homer (31) had a near-even split of the running back snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Packers. However, Collins received the majority of the touches (11-4), as Homer primarily worked as an extra pass protector in Russell Wilson's (finger) return to action. Clearly, Collins has been able to play through the groin injury that has affected his practice reps during preparation for each of the Seahawks' last three games, but his production has been lacking (38 touches for…read more

  • Stalled by dud offense

    Collins ran for 41 yards on 10 carries against Green Bay on Sunday.

    Analysis: Collins usually runs effectively and this game was no exception, but his opportunities were hindered by the poor play of Russell Wilson in his return from a finger injury. The Seahawks passing game was nearly non-existent, and the inability to move the chains deprived Collins of carry and target opportunities in a game during which he might have otherwise been productive.

    Collins (groin) won't have to contend with Chris Carson (neck) for running back reps in Sunday's contest in Green Bay, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Seattle designated Carson for return from injured reserve this week, and he managed some practice reps Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's session. Coach Pete Carroll noted the team doesn't "feel like it's time yet" to bring him back to the active roster, which will give Collins another chance to lead the backfield. Collins himself had limitations Wednesday and Thursday before capping Week 10 prep with a full practice, but he was clear of a designation for Sunday. In four games…read more

  • Fine for Sunday

    Collins (groin) will enter Sunday's game in Green Bay without an injury designation, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Coming out of a Week 9 bye, the groin injury is a minor concern compared to Chris Carson (neck) potentially returning from injured reserve. The Seahawks are treating Carson as a game-time decision, potentially ending Collins' four-week run as the starter. If so, he'll have averaged 15.3 carries for 56.8 yards (4.7 YPC) and 0.25 TDs as a starter, plus 1.0 catches for 7.8 yards, with the vast majority of his snaps coming behind QB Geno Smith rather than Russell Wilson. If Carson doesn't end up…read more

    Analysis: For the second consecutive session, Collins operated with a cap on his reps, which has been the case for each of the Seahawks' previous two games Weeks 7 and 8. There's a decent chance he enters the weekend with a designation, but his availability doesn't seem to be in doubt for Sunday's contest at Green Bay. If Collins ends up playing this weekend, there's a chance he'll be joined by Chris Carson, who has missed four games in a row due to a sore neck. Seattle designated Carson to return from…read more

    Analysis: Even after Seattle's Week 9 bye, Collins continues to be bothered by the groin injury that affected his practice reps prior to the team's last two games. He still operated as the lead back both times, compiling 26 carries for 79 yards and one catch for nine yards. During that same span, the trio of Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas combined for 20 touches for 48 yards from scrimmage.

    Collins rushed 10 times for 44 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The Seahawks spread the wealth in the backfield after getting out to a big lead early, but Collins still managed to lead the backfield in carries while Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas combined for 15 rushes. Collins was clearly the best back with 4.4 yards per carry while no other back recorded a gain of more than seven yards. The Seahawks seem to be pessimistic about Chris Carson's (neck) chances to return in the near future, so Collins should be the lead backfield in Week 10…read more

  • Active again Sunday

    Collins (groin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Collins sandwiched a pair of limited sessions around an absence from Thursday's practice during Week 8 prep, entering the weekend as questionable for this contest. Coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism Friday that Collins would play through his groin injury for a second straight game, and he'll do just that Sunday. Collins should be the Seahawks' primary running back against a Jacksonville defense that has allowed 125.2 yards from scrimmage per game and nine TDs to running backs in six outings…read more

    Collins (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, is on track to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Even though Collins is being listed as questionable for the second straight week with the groin issue, head coach Pete Carroll suggested Friday that the running back was on track to play. Collins' situation apparently hasn't taken a turn for the worse heading into Sunday, but fantasy managers planning on keeping him active in Week 8 will still want to ensure he avoids the Seahawks' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Collins played only 40 percent…read more

    Coach Pete Carroll said Collins (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, is likely to be able to play, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Collins managed a pair of limited sessions during Week 8 prep as he deals with a groin injury. He was able to gut it out this past Monday against the Saints, but his 40 percent share of the offensive snaps marked his fewest since he began his run of regular work out of the Seahawks backfield back in Week 4. Still, Collins earned 17 touches Monday versus seven combined for Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas in that contest. Assuming Collins is able to suit up this weekend, he again…read more

    Analysis: Collins was a game-time decision with the same injury last week, ultimately taking 16 carries for 35 yards and one catch for nine yards in a 13-10 loss to the Saints on Monday night. The Seahawks then listed him as a limited practice participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday, leaving his status in question for a second straight week. The team did get Rashaad Penny back from IR, but he seemed to all but disappear from the offense Monday after the middle of the third quarter. Even so,…read more

    Collins (groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins emerged from Week 6 with a groin injury that contained him to one limited session (Saturday) during Week 7 preparations. He proceeded to suit up Monday against the Saints and received the bulk of the touches given to running backs (17 of 24). However, the offensive snaps were spread around liberally, with Collins earning 22 of 56, Rashaad Penny seeing 20 in his first action since Week 1, Travis Homer notching 12 and DeeJay Dallas tallying one.

    Collins (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins was something of a game-time call ahead of Monday's loss to the Saints, but he received the start and the first touch of the game for the Seahawks. In the end, Seattle spread around the snaps on offense among its running backs, with Collins getting 22 (of 56), Rashaad Penny earning 20, Travis Homer seeing 12 and DeeJay Dallas bringing up the rear with one. Collins continued to dominate the touches in Chris Carson's absence due to a neck injury, recording 17 versus seven combined for…read more

  • Struggles in start

    Collins (groin) rushed 16 times for 35 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The Seahawks' backfield has been marred by injuries recently, and Collins was a game-time decision himself despite having the extra day of rest due to Monday Night Football. Perhaps the veteran back wasn't at 100 percent, considering how poorly he performed in a lackluster offensive effort from Seattle. While this performance doesn't inspire confidence, Collins is likely to receive another start -- assuming improved health -- in a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 8 while Chris…read more

    Collins (groin) was the first Seahawks running back to work in pregame warmups ahead of Monday's contest against the Saints, indicating he'll get the start, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Collins emerged from Week 6 -- his second game starting his place of Chris Carson (neck) -- with hip and glute injuries. However, on the first Week 7 practice report, he was listed as a non-participant due to a groin issue, which contained him to just one session on the field Saturday.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Collins (groin) "looked good" Saturday and is ready to play Monday night against the Saints, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins didn't practice Thursday or Friday, but Carroll appears to believe the running back will be available Monday. With Chris Carson (neck) sidelined the last two weeks, Collins has run 35 times for 148 yards and one touchdown. However, Rashaad Penny (calf) is expected to return from injured reserve and be active for Monday's game, so his presence may cut into the workload that Collins had been receiving over the last two games.

    Collins (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Saints, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins didn't practice Thursday or Friday but coach Pete Carroll still seemed to hint the veteran back could be available for the primetime contest. While we'll probably have more information regarding Collins' status prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Monday, Rashaad Penny (calf), who is expected to be activated, along with DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer all could mix in an offense that has lost a bit of luster with Russell Wilson (finger) sidelined.

    Analysis: Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism earlier in the week that Collins would be ready to go for Monday's game against the Saints, but the running back's second straight absence from practice doesn't bode well for his chances of avoiding the inactive list. Brady Henderson of ESPN.com suggests that Rashaad Penny (calf), who was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, would be in line for a big role out of the Seattle backfield if Collins can't play Monday.

    Analysis: Earlier Thursday, coach Pete Carroll was optimistic about Collins participating in practice, telling Boyle, "He's going to practice today, so that's a good sign." The comment came on the heels of Collins looking "OK" during Thursday's walkthrough, but the running back apparently was unable to mix into any drills on the practice field, individual or otherwise.

    Coach Pete Carroll expects Collins (hip/glute) to practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. "He's going to practice today, so that's a good sign," Carroll said. "He went through walkthrough today and looked OK."

    Analysis: After posting 98 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown this past Sunday at Pittsburgh in his second consecutive spot start for Chris Carson (neck), Collins came out of the 23-20 loss with hip and glute injuries. Still, Carroll noted at the time that Collins has a chance to not miss any time, and he'd do just that by beginning Week 7 prep with at least a limited showing on the practice field.

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Collins is dealing with hip and glute injuries after racking up 101 rushing yards and a score on 20 carries during Sunday's overtime loss to the Steelers, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Carroll said that Collins has a shot to play Week 7 versus New Orleans on Monday night, but that his availability can't be guaranteed due to a handful of big hits he sustained Week 6. With Chris Carson (neck) on injured reserve, plenty of touches would be available to the next man up in Seattle's backfield if Collins ends up missing time. Currently, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas are operating behind Collins, but Carroll also said that he expects Rashaad Penny (calf) to resume practicing this…read more

    Collins rushed 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Collins started again in place of Chris Carson (neck) and turned in his best rushing performance of the season in a tight contest. The veteran back has generally performed well when called upon to replace a starter over the course of his career, and Sunday night was yet another example of that. With Carson being placed on IR this week, Collins will receive at least two more starts before the Seahawks' bye week. Based on the carry distribution (20 of 26 in favor of Collins), he should not be…read more

  • To get another start

    Collins is slated to be the Seahawks' lead back Sunday in Pittsburgh after the team placed Chris Carson (neck) on injured reserve Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Collins' workload has increased in each successive game since he made his season debut back in Week 2, both in terms of snap and touch counts. In Week 4, he merely got work at the expense of a healthy at the time Carson, while Collins was the starter in place of Carson last Thursday. During that two-game stretch, Collins earned 56 percent of the offensive snaps, but he's only averaged a modest 3.6 YPC on 25 rushes. On a positive note, his four catches have gone at a 14.8-yard clip, and he's…read more

  • Generates 72 total yards in loss

    Collins rushed 15 times for 47 yards and secured two of three targets for 25 yards in the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Collins drew the start for Chris Carson (neck) and found running room at a premium against a Rams defense that previously had difficulties stopping opposing ground attacks. He was able to improve his fantasy tally somewhat with his pair of receptions, leading to a serviceable night from that perspective. Carson could well be back to his customary lead-back duties for a tough Week 6 road matchup against the tough Steelers run defense a week from Sunday, but Collins could still enjoy a solid…read more

    Collins likely will start for absent No. 1 running back Chris Carson (neck) on Thursday versus the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carson had a neck issue flare up earlier this week, which kept him from practicing Tuesday and Wednesday and will sideline him for this Week 5 NFC West showdown. Collins is slated to step in for Carson after showing something last Sunday in San Francisco, against whom he reeled off 44 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown to go with two catches (on two targets) for 34 yards. Through four games, Carson averaged 15 touches per game, so Collins should be able to approach that number in his spot…read more

  • Increased role possible Thursday

    Collins could be poised for a bigger workload Thursday against the Rams with Chris Carson (neck) listed as questionable for the contest, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Collins has increased his snap share in each of the three games he's been active this season, culminating with a Week 4 performance in which he had 12 touches for 78 total yards and one touchdown in a victory at San Francisco. Carson was unable to practice Tuesday or Wednesday due to neck soreness and may be a game-time decision for Thursday's contest, but Collins could be in line for anything from this past Sunday's workload (if Carson is active) or most of the early down work (if Carson sits).

  • Vultures points off the bench

    Collins ran for 44 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries against San Francisco on Sunday, adding two receptions for 34 yards on two targets.

    Analysis: Chris Carson wasn't injured, but Collins still poached 10 carries and two targets to Carson's 13 carries and one target. Carson was capped at 13 carries for the third week in a row, and if Collins keeps producing like this there might be room for him to produce off the bench. It's important to note that Carson's job security seems quite high, so if Collins manages to be useful in fantasy he'll still likely need to wait for Carson to have his turn first. Collins may have established himself as…read more

  • Limited usage in loss

    Collins rushed twice for eight yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Collins finished third among Seahawks running backs with 14 snaps. Considering his usage is already limited -- he rushed just once in Week 2 against the Titans -- Collins is nothing more than an insurance policy for Chris Carson managers, though even that role will be in question once Rashaad Penny (calf) returns.

    Analysis: Chris Carson led the backfield with 13 rushes for 31 yards and two scores, and Collins was the only other running back to record a carry. However, his six offensive snaps finished third behind Carson (34) and Travis Homer (14). The Seahawks appear comfortable operating with Carson as the clear lead back while Rashaad Penny (calf) is out. Collins won't have much fantasy upside while Carson is healthy.

    Collins was one of five running backs to make the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Collins was solid enough as a rusher and a pass catcher this preseason to make the depth-chart slotting behind top back Chris Carson ambiguous. Rashaad Penny is still likely the favorite for the No. 2 role, but Collins showed he can contribute in the backfield if Carson goes down.

    Analysis: Collins and Rashaad Penny split reps during the first half in a battle for the No. 2 role behind Chris Carson. Through two quarters, Collins carried four times for 21 yards while Penny toted the ball seven times for 24 yards. Penny sat out the second half while Collins finished the game in a backfield tandem with Josh Johnson.

    Analysis: Chris Carson didn't play in Saturday's game, leaving Collins, Rashaad Penny, DeeJay Dallas and Josh Johnson to pick up the backfield reps. The four running backs totaled 58 yards on 21 carries; none of them showed anything of note. Penny still is considered the front runner for the No. 2 job behind Carson, so Collins is aiming for the No. 3 role.

    Collins rushed twice for one yard and secured one of two targets for four yards in the Seahawks' 20-7 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Battling DeeJay Dallas for the third-down back role, Collins presumably fell behind in the competition for the moment with his modest effort and Dallas' own stellar performance. However, Collins does have more NFL skins on the wall than his second-year teammate and reportedly had a strong offseason, so he's still very much a candidate for a roster spot heading into next Saturday night's exhibition against the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Seahawks leaned heavily on the aerial attack Sunday, but when they decided to run it, Collins was their guy, as he handled 11 of 13 running back carries. He was quite effective, too, proving to be a more physical runner than Travis Homer or DeeJay Dallas. He may have proved enough to be kept around moving forward, but Chris Carson (foot) may be back and ready for a full workload next week against the Cardinals, leaving a minimal role for Collins.
