The Dallas Cowboys are bringing back offensive tackle La'el Collins, who was on the team from 2015-2021. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported the news. The 31-year-old Collins was most recently with the Buffalo Bills, who released the former LSU star as part of their final round of roster cuts last August.

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.

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