New York Giants Pro Bowl safety Landon Collins has been steadily on the mend since undergoing a second surgery on his right forearm just over a month ago. This has delayed his return to the practice field, but there has continued to remain optimism around the entire situation.

According to Tom Rock of Newsday, the 24-year-old is expected to be back on the field by the start of mandatory minicamp next month.

As for his own progress, Collins said he is able to run while rehabbing his forearm and should be cleared in a few weeks. Collins said he’ll push to participate in minicamp in mid-June, but will abide by the decisions of the coaching staff and medical personnel.

Through the first three seasons of his career, Collins has emerged as one of the top safeties in the league has become a vital part of the Giants' secondary. He has earned a pair of Pro Bowl selections and a First-Team All-Pro nod over the last two seasons that has further backed that notion.

His return to the field will be an encouraging step forward as New York will likely look to continue to lean on to bring stability and leadership to the secondary. He had suffered the broken right forearm in Week 16 of last season that he had initially undergone surgery to repair the injury. However, the lack of progress in the recovery process led to him going under the knife for the second time this offseason.

What has also become a storyline has been his contract situation as he's set to enter the final year of his four-year, $6.1 million rookie deal that he has been eyeing a long-term extension. There hasn't been any significant movement toward a new contract being hammer out, which could become an underlying topic of discussion around the team leading up to next season.
