The New England Patriots have been able to survive this season through all the troubles they've had, and most of them have come from injuries to some of their key players. More specifically, the wide receiver room has seen a lot of them, but it looks like some are getting healthy soon.
One of those players happens to be Mack Hollins , who was dealing with a calf injury and was on injured reserve.
"A big one for the Patriots: WR Mack Hollins is set to return to practice today, sources say. Hollins, a glue guy for NE, has been on Injured Reserve with a calf injury and would help immensely vs the Packers," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

That's good news for the Patriots, as they get back one of their pass catchers, but also someone who is a good run blocker at his position. The hope is that he has a good week of practice so he can get back on the field sooner rather than later, and there are other receivers they hope can do the same.
A.J. Brown missed last week with a knee injury that's been lingering for some time, and there is uncertainty about whether he'll be able to play this week. It'll all depend on how much he practices, and if he practices at all. Romeo Doubs is currently on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury against the New York Jets, and the hope is that he'll be back in the coming weeks.
For Drake Maye , he truly hasn't had time to build chemistry with any of his receivers because of the injuries, but the Patriots still find themselves with a 5-3 record and are in second place in their division.
