RB Kenneth Dixon was activated from injured reserve, the team announced Saturday. Dixon was expected to compete for the starting job last season after rushing for 382 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie in 2016. He also had 30 catches and a receiving score. However, Dixon suffered a torn meniscus prior to training camp a year ago and had to undergo season-ending surgery, which allowed Collins to eventually seize the job as the starting running back. He returned to the lineup in a backup role in Week 1 but hurt his knee after rushing for 44 yards on 13 carries in a 47-3 rout of Buffalo.
