If you're heading to Gillette Stadium or settling in at home, the Patriots host the Green Bay Packers today, and Drake Maye gets a bigger target. The team activated wide receiver Mack Hollins from injured reserve Saturday. He's back after missing four games with a calf injury.
Last week the Patriots leaned on Efton Chism, DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams, all shorter than 6 feet and under 200 pounds. Hollins is 6-foot-4 and 221 pounds. “It’s comforting definitely having No. 13 out there,” Maye said Wednesday. Romeo Doubs is also on injured reserve.
- Kickoff: Sun., Nov. 8, 4:25 p.m., at Gillette Stadium
- Guard Greg Van Roten: not activated, two more weeks to add him
- Questionable: seven players, and none ruled out
- Practice squad elevations: none for this game
Hollins is one of four healthy receivers on the active roster
