Mack Hollins to return to Patriots practice on Wednesday

The New England Patriots' wide receiver group is set to gain a boost as Mack Hollins, who has been sidelined on injured reserve for the past four weeks, is expected to return to practice on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hollins, 33, was placed on injured reserve after the team's Week 4 win against the Buffalo Bills due to a calf injury.

Before his injury, he had played 63% of the team's offensive snaps and had 15 catches for 209 yards. Hollins, a starter-caliber wide receiver and locker room leader, will join other injured players A.J. Brown (knee) and Romeo Doubs (shoulder, IR) on the sidelines as the Patriots rely on DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism to keep the offense afloat.

The team will release their first injury report prior to their game against the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, November 8th at Gillette Stadium.
