Cardinals' L.J. Collier: Activated Wednesday
Collier (knee) was activated off the injured reserve list Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The 30-year-old practiced in full throughout last week and is now in line to return following a 13-game absence due to a knee injury. Through 17 appearances in 2024, Collier recorded 29 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defensed. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of Arizona's top interior defensive linemen in the Week 17 matchup against the Bengals.

The 30-year-old has played just 34 defensive snaps through two games this season, accumulating one solo tackle in the playing time.

Collier (knee) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The 30-year-old has missed the Cardinals' last 10 games after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 2 win over the Panthers, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Collier was one of Arizona's best interior defensive linemen in 2024, recording 29 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defensed across 17 contests. Once fully healthy, he's expected to add depth to the Cardinals' defensive line.

Cardinals' L.J. Collier: Shifts to IR
Collier (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Collier sustained a knee injury in Arizona's Week 2 win over the Panthers, and the issue now appears serious enough to sideline him for at least the next four games. The 2019 first-round pick from TCU appeared in 17 games for the Cardinals last season, recording 29 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defended. In his absence, PJ Mustipher is likely to see increased work as a rotational interior defensive lineman.

Collier signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Cardinals on Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Collier appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2024 -- which was the first time he's done that in his six-year NFL career -- and he finished with career highs in total tackles (29) and sacks (3.5). Collier will remain in Arizona for the 2025 campaign and likely serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind Justin Jones (triceps) and Josh Sweat.

Cardinals' L.J. Collier: Career year in 2024
Collier finished the 2024 season with 29 total tackles (13 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a fumble recovery over 17 games.
Collier had a career year in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles and sacks, while appearing in all 17 games for the first time in his six years in the NFL. The defensive end will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and his 2024 performance will certainly draw the attention of plenty of potential suitors.
