Collins signed with the Patriots' practice squad Monday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
It was previously unclear what type of contract Collins inked with New England, though he's now set to join the team's practice squad after fellow linebacker Harvey Langi was released Monday. The 32-year-old has yet to play in 2022, though his experience from four previous stints with the Patriots should make him a prime candidate for gameday elevations moving forward this season.
