Bengals re-signed OT Anthony Collins.
Collins, 26, will return as the Bengals' "swing" tackle behind LT Andrew Whitworth and RT Andre Smith. Young with a solid track record in 18 career starts, Collins has encountered work ethic and character red flags since coming out of Kansas in 2008. His signing is still a strong one for the Bengals.

Coach Marvin Lewis has cleared OT Anthony Collins of any wrongdoing in the pot bust at Jerome Simpson's house.

"The only thing I know is that Anthony Collins wasn't involved in anything at all," Lewis said. "The other thing (the investigation of Simpson), I'm not allowed to comment about anything so we'll just move forward and get ready to play football." Collins just happened to be at Simpson's house at the time of the delivery.

Anthony Collins - T - Bengals

The Bengals are 7-2 with an average of 110 rushing yards per game in RT Anthony Collins' nine starts over the past two seasons.

Maybe they should stop messing around with Dennis Roland and Andre Smith, and just start Collins. A 25-year-old entering a contract season, Collins played only 281 snaps of offense in 2010. He started seven games the season prior, and according to Pro Football Focus allowed just six QB pressures all year.

Anthony Collins - T - Bengals

The Bengals started Anthony Collins at RT over Dennis Roland Sunday.

It was his first start since Week 5 of last season, when he lost his job to Roland. Andre Smith also held down the spot for a few games before getting injured. "I thought AC played well," said coach Marvin Lewis. "It was good to see. He's had a rough go of it and it was good to see him get out there fulltime and he did a nice job."

Anthony Collins has been promoted to the Bengals' starting right tackle, passing first-round holdout Andre Smith.

Smith's holdout isn't going to end anytime soon, so the Bengals had to move on. Collins, who looked adequate in six starts to end last season, might be the better option anyways. He offers better height and plenty of athleticism.

The Bengals plan to use 2008 fourth-round pick Anthony Collins as their backup "swing" tackle this season.

He'll be the top backup for both LT Andrew Whitworth and RT Andre Smith. It's surprising that Collins won't get a shot to start after holding up in six 2008 spot appearances. In terms of talent, Collins at right tackle, Whitworth on the left, and Smith inside would be the Bengals' best lineup.

Anthony Collins - T - Bengals

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis denies that his team needs to draft a left tackle with the No. 6 overall pick.

"I wouldn't really think that's a high priority," Lewis said. "We feel real comfortable with some guys we have in-house." Anthony Collins started the final six games and acquitted himself well. Right tackle remains a need, however, following Stacy Andrews' departure to Philly.

Anthony Collins - T - Bengals

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was impressed by the play of fourth-round rookie OT Anthony Collins to close out the season.

"Anthony exceeded expectations and as a kid was way better than advertised. He is one of those tough guys you can build around," Lewis said. Collins' emergence could lead to the release of an often injured and ineffective Levi Jones.
