Mack Hollins is slated to practice on Wednesday, his first on‑field activity since a calf injury forced him out a month ago. This confirms that the Patriots will have the wide receiver available for the Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, addressing the central question of his participation.
Yahoo Sports noted that Hollins was limited at the Wednesday session, while NBC Sports reported his expected presence on the practice field. Patriots.com’s Week 9 injury report catalogues the broader roster status, and Pats Pulpit mentioned a pair of other injured Patriots rejoining practice ahead of the game.
The coverage also points out that Hollins’s practice is restricted, indicating his calf may still be healing and that his role could be scaled back. Coaches are likely monitoring his workload closely, and the limited practice could affect his snap count once the game begins, while other returning players show the team’s health picture remains mixed.
