Stays limited at practice Collins (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Collins had a cap on his practice reps during Week 4 prep, but he still suited up this past Sunday in Carolina and paced the Cardinals in tackles with eight. Through four games, he ranks fifth on the team in defensive snap share (92.9 percent), while his most-recent performance has pushed him to a close third in tackles (27) behind safeties Budda Baker (32) and Jalen Thompson (28). Collins will look to get rid of his designation for a Week 5 matchup with the Eagles.

Listed as questionable for Sunday Collins (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Collins was limited at practices throughout the week due to a shoulder injury he picked up during the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams. While the second-year linebacker had to be removed from the contest, he avoided a major injury and has a chance to suit up against Carolina, but Collins may still miss at least one game to avoid a potential setback. If he's ruled out for Week 4, Nick Vigil would be a likely candidate to start in Collins' absence.

Larger role in store in 2022 Collins is in line for a starting role at inside linebacker for the Cardinals in 2022 after the offseason release of Jordan Hicks, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact Despite selecting an inside linebacker in the first round for the second consecutive draft last year, Arizona rolled with Hicks and 2020 first-rounder Isaiah Simmons in 2021. Both Hicks and Simmons sprung for more than 100 tackles and at least 950 snaps, while Collins' output was more stated (25 tackles on 361 snaps between defense and special teams). With Hicks out of town, Collins will team with Simmons in the middle of the Cardinals defense moving forward. Assuming he takes on most of Hicks' workload this season, Collins could approach triple-digit tackles after averaging 7.4 per game in three years at Tulsa.
