Mike Vrabel uncertain if Mack Hollins will return to practice this week

The New England Patriots may see the return of receiver Mack Hollins for the upcoming AFC Championship Game. Hollins, who has been on injured reserve with an abdominal issue since late December, is eligible to return this week. Head Coach Mike Vrabel stated that the team has not yet decided if Hollins will practice. Hollins was a significant player for the Patriots in 2025, recording 46 receptions for 550 yards and two touchdowns over 15 games. He ranked third on the team in receptions and fourth in receiving yards. Additionally, the Patriots have yet to determine the practice status of defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. The team's initial injury report will be released on Wednesday.
