Cincinnati Bengals right tackle La'el Collins suffered an apparent knee injury at the end of a play during the first quarter of Saturday's Week 16 win against the Patriots in New England.
Collins needed help as he limped off the field, but did not require a stretcher. He was carted to the locker room a short time later. The Bengals declared Collins out with a left knee injury.
The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway reported via Twitter during the third quarter that Collins' ACL remains intact:
