Collins is slated to be traded from the Texans to the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Javon Hargrave dealt with a torn ligament in his thumb down the stretch, and the 49ers are expected to release Arik Armstead (knee); therefore, the addition of Collins solves San Francisco's need for a defensive tackle. Collins started 16 games for the Texans in 2023 and set a new career high in tackles (41) while tying his previous best mark with 5.0 sacks.

Maliek Collins Latest News
Traded from Houston to SF
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/san-francisco-49ers-logo.png?w=150)
Collins is slated to be traded from the Texans to the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Javon Hargrave dealt with a torn ligament in his thumb down the stretch, and the 49ers are expected to release Arik Armstead (knee); therefore, the addition of Collins solves San Francisco's need for a defensive tackle. Collins started 16 games for the Texans in 2023 and set a new career high in tackles (41) while tying his previous best mark with 5.0 sacks.
Logs two sacks in loss
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/san-francisco-49ers-logo.png?w=150)
Collins had his best game of the season despite the loss, finishing fourth on the team in tackles and second in sacks. The 28-year-old took advantage of a poor Carolina offensive line and will look to build off this strong performance versus the Buccaneers next week.
