The Patriots made a bit of a surprising move on Saturday, placing wide receiver Mack Hollins on injured reserve ahead of their week 17 matchup against the Jets.
Mack Hollins is dealing with an abdominal injury. He finished Sunday night’s game against the Ravens but did not participate in practice during the week. Now he’ll be out a minimum of four games, meaning he wouldn’t be eligible to return until at least the AFC championship game.
If New England earns the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Hollins won’t be able to make his return until the Super Bowl.
