"Alex will be out this week, see how he handles this week and get ourselves moving forward," Bielema said. "You'll probably see that he is not going to be as active on Twitter and everything else as well. He's been removed from all social media until further notice. He's a tremendous young man that has to step up in certain areas to get where we want to be and I think he'll do that."

Collins is the fourth player Bielema said has been given a week suspension during the team's off-season workouts. Scholarship running back Korliss Marshall and walk-ons Bubba Crouch and Nathan Williamson were suspended last week but have rejoined team activities, Bielema said.
