The New York Giants are reuniting with former safety Landon Collins after he announced that he was signing back with the team. Collins reunites with the team that drafted him 33rd overall pick in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent four years with New York before playing three years with the team’s NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders. While it may be too soon for him to play in Week Five, expect Collins to quickly get reacclimated with the roster.

Landon Collins is taking the practice squad spot of veteran LB A.J. Klein, per source. Klein was added by the Giants earlier this week. He is being signed by another team off the Giants PSquad.

The New York Giants are currently sitting at 3-1 on the season and with that comes a major shift in focus. Instead of this being a rebuilding year with a new Head Coach, the team has its eyes on a potential NFC East title. Landon Collins is familiar with the team and has had success there before. This could be a perfect match heading into the middle of the NFL season.
