Collins' quadriceps injury will require season-ending surgery, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Collins was carted off the field after sustaining a quadriceps injury in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the 49ers, and he's now set to miss the remainder of the season. The 30-year-old was having one of the best seasons of his career through 12 games, recording 25 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. While he's sidelined for the rest of 2025, expect Shelby Harris to start on Cleveland's defensive line.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Maintains sack streak
Rotowire
Garrett logged five tackles and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.
Garrett snuffed out a 49ers possession, sacking Brock Purdy on a third-and-4 at the Cleveland 41-yard line and forced San Francisco to punt. Unfortunately, the ensuing punt was muffed and recovered by the Niners, who scored to make it a two-touchdown deficit. That is a microcosm of the Browns' season: the defense holds strong but gets little help from the offense or special teams. Garrett has registered sacks in six straight games (15.0) and stands at 19.0 for the season with five games remaining.

Ameer Speed: Works out with Bucs
Rotowire
Tampa Bay worked out Speed (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The Buccaneers are evidently exploring adding some organizational depth at cornerback, possibly because veteran Jamel Dean is dealing with a hip flexor strain. Speed, who now appears to be fully healthy again, last saw regular-season action in 2024, when he suited up for two games with the Bears.
