Alex Collins' absence from Thursday's practice 'precautionary'

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins' (knee) absence from Thursday's practice was "precautionary," reports Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

What It Means:

The Ravens want Collins "ready to rip" against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5, per Pelissero. Collins was downgraded to out at Thursday's practice after being limited on Wednesday. If he winds up sitting, Buck Allen will likely draw the start.

numberFire's models currently conservatively project Collins to score 4.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,500 in Week 5. He's the RB58 in our weekly fantasy rankings.
