Cowboys are bringing back La’el Collins for another go.
The Dallas Cowboys have been hit hard with injuries on the offensive line as of late. They recently brought in veteran La’el Collins for a workout earlier this week, and they’re signing the former undrafted free agent per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The Dallas Cowboys are signing OT La’el Collins, @startelegram has learned. Good workout leads to a reunion for Collins in Oxnard.

Collins was signed by the Cowboys in 2015, and he ended up starting 71 of the 74 games he played in. After asking permission to seek a trade, Collins was released and signed with the Cincinnati Bengals. After tearing his ACL, he was released before ultimately coming back to the Cowboys. However, it was only for 12 days during their playoff run. Collins signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2024 but was released that August.
The Cowboys needed to make a move for much-needed depth and training camp purposes. Maybe Collins has enough left in the tank to be a contributor in 2025. He at least is a camp body until others get healthy.
