Patriots Activate WR Mack Hollins Off PUP for Training Camp

The New England Patriots have activated wide receiver Mack Hollins from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, allowing him to fully participate in training camp practices. Hollins, 31, signed a two-year, $8.4 million deal with the Patriots this offseason after playing all 17 games for the Buffalo Bills in 2024, where he caught 31 passes for 378 yards and five touchdowns. Though Thursday's practice was a walk-through with no pads, Hollins took part in extra work with quarterback Drake Maye and is competing in a crowded receiver room that includes established players Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, and rookie Kyle Williams. Hollins' experience and special teams ability make him a strong candidate to secure one of the five or six wide receiver roster spots. The Patriots continue to evaluate other receivers such as Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker, and undrafted rookie Efton Chism. Hollins' return adds depth and competition to New England's wide receiver group as they prepare for the season.
