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
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
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.
