McCollum recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers. Though it didn't translate to a huge day in the box score, McCollum played a career-high 66 defensive snaps in Week 14 with both Reed Blankenship (concussion) and Sydney Brown (knee) sidelined. His snap share in Week 15 versus the Steelers will probably depend on Blankenship's and Brown's availability.
McCollum recorded eight tackles (four solo) against the Buccaneers in Sunday's loss. With Reed Blankenship exiting the contest due to an illness late in the first half, McCollum got an extended opportunity at safety. He ended up logging 53 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps and finishing second on the team in tackles. McCollum had totaled just three defensive snaps over the season's first three weeks, and he'll likely to return to playing mostly on special teams if Blankenship is able to return to action following the Eagles' Week 5 bye.
