Report: Ex-Raven Collins gets 3-game suspension
Former Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins is suspended for three games by the NFL following his arrest last spring, the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Friday.
Collins was arrested in March after crashing his car into a tree near the Ravens' team facility. He was charged with possession of more than 10 grams of marijuana, intent to distribute marijuana and possession of a handgun in a vehicle, according to ESPN.
The Ravens waived him immediately after the crash.
Collins pleaded guilty last month to misdemeanor charges and will serve 18 months probation, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Collins played two seasons with Baltimore after spending his 2016 rookie season with the Seattle Seahawks. He rushed for 411 yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games last year before missing the end of the season with a foot injury.
The Arkansas product announced via social media that he broke his leg in July and underwent surgery, though Rapoport reported Collins should be medically cleared to return next week.
The three-game suspension will start if/when a team signs Collins.
