Dom Capers

him on his physical.  In effect, the Packers said they weren’t comfortable putting Collins back on the field, even though he could eventually be cleared by medical specialists.

The top two safeties in the draft went in the first round last night, Alabama’s Mark Barron went with the 7th pick to Tampa Bay and the Minnesota Vikings used the 29th pick on Notre Dame’s Harrison Smith.
