The New England Patriots have activated wide receiver Mack Hollins from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s playoff showdown with the Denver Broncos.

Hollins has been battling an abdominal injury that has ruled him out of New England’s past four games.

The Patriots head to Denver on Sunday knowing victory would secure them a place at Super Bowl LIX.

Hollins, 32, joined New England ahead of the 2025 season following spells with the Buffalo Bills, Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles.

Before hurting his abdomen, the veteran led all Patriots wide receivers in snaps over the first 16 weeks of the season.

Across the regular season, only Stefon Diggs and tight end Hunter Henry were targeted more than Hollins, who amassed 550 yards and two touchdowns before suffering an injury against the Ravens.
