If healthy, Collins can help solidify a Cowboys offensive line that was recently hit with an injury to starting left tackle Tyler Guyton. Cowboys coach Brian Schottheimer recently tabbed Asim Richards and Nate Thomas as two players "who'll get the first couple cracks" to temporarily replace Guyton, who is slated to miss the next 4-6 weeks.

Dallas is in need of depth after multiple injuries on the offensive line in training camp. On Monday, second-year Cowboys tackle Tyler Guyton suffered a bone fracture and sprained knee, a person with knowledge of the injury told The News.

Before his workout with the Cowboys, La'el Collins told Dak Prescott's kids that he was going to "protect your daddy."
