He was injured in what a team spokesman called a “freak” accident that
occured when his golf cart skidded on wet ground and tipped over.

If he’s sidelined for exactly eight weeks, Collins, acquired from
Memphis in the draft-night Love-for-O.J. Mayo deal, would miss all of
training camp and the regular season’s first week.
