New York Giants safety Landon Collins suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s overtime win over the Chicago Bears, and it is apparently serious enough that he will miss at least one game.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Collins will not play against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Collins, a two-time Pro Bowler, is in the final year of his contract with the Giants. He’s considered one of the best safeties in football, and it makes little sense for New York to push it with him in what has become a lost season.
While he admitted that rumors about him being traded had a big impact on his mental psyche, Collins has said he wants to remain with the Giants beyond this season.
