Patriots WR Mack Hollins Out 4+ Games on IR
11 Oct
Summary
- Mack Hollins placed on injured reserve, out for at least four games.
- Hollins leads Patriots receivers in catches and yards.
- Drake Maye will play without veteran receiver Hollins.
The New England Patriots have placed wide receiver Mack Hollins on injured reserve, an absence that will keep him sidelined for a minimum of four games. Hollins, who had been the team's leading receiver in both catches and yards through the early part of the season, sustained a non-contact calf injury during the Patriots' recent win over the Buffalo Bills.
This latest setback adds to a growing list of key players on the injured reserve list for the Patriots. Alongside Hollins and A.J. Brown, other notable absences include right guard Mike Onwenu and punter Bryce Baringer. The team, currently holding a 2-2 record, will face the 3-1 Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday without Hollins.
With Hollins out, the responsibility for stepping up in the receiving corps falls to players like Efton Chism III, who caught the game-winning touchdown against Buffalo, and Romeo Doubs, who now anchors the group. Quarterback Drake Maye will rely on these available receivers as the Patriots navigate this challenging period of injuries.
