This thread relates to the following thread:

NFL reinstates Lions DE-DT Jashon Cornell from suspension

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1200/reinstates-lions-jashon-cornell-suspension

This was a necessary decision by the Lions. Jamie Collins was not a team player. That was evident when he got ejected in the 2nd QTR in the opener against the Bears last season and evident again this season based on his play against the run and in pass coverage. Decision makers on other teams knew the Lions had very little leverage, at most.

The Lions now can activate Jashon Cornell without making another roster move..

It wouldn't be surprising if Collins signs with the Patriots again.

It looks like it will be official soon.

It will be interesting to see if age caught up to Jamie Collins. Even if it has, my guess is he didn't have the commitment needed to play for Dan Campbell, Aaron Glenn, and the overall 2021 Lions.
