The New England Patriots are activating wide receiver Mack Hollins from the physically unable to perform list, signaling his anticipated debut at training camp. This update comes from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Hollins, a notable addition to the Patriots during free agency in March, brings significant size and versatility to the receiving corps. He is not only capable of making plays downfield but also adds value in the red zone and as a productive blocker on the field.
In his last game with the Buffalo Bills, Hollins showcased his skills with three receptions totaling 73 yards and a touchdown in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Over the course of the season, he recorded 31 catches for 378 yards and five touchdowns.
The Patriots are optimistic about Hollins filling a vital role as a veteran presence within the team, especially with his most productive season occurring under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders when he achieved 57 receptions for 690 yards and four touchdowns. Now, with McDaniels back in the fold, there is potential for a successful collaboration between the two in New England.
This development is promising for the Patriots as they look to strengthen their offense and create impactful plays as the season progresses.
