Baltimore lets RB Collins go after car crash

The Baltimore Ravens released running back Alex Collins, who led the team in rushing two years ago.

Collins was arrested Friday following a car crash near the team training facility. The specific charges were not immediately released by police.

The team said, “We have spoken to the police and are aware of the situation.”

Collins led Baltimore with 973 yards rushing in 2017 and scored eight touchdowns in 2018 before a foot injury ended his season in late November. The 24-yearold Collins was a restricted free agent before his release. If not claimed on waivers, he becomes a free agent.
