Mack Hollins is available for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX after dealing with a scary injury. Miraculously, the veteran wideout managed to return in time for the AFC title game and Super Bowl despite dealing with a rather serious situation.
Reports indicate that Hollins, who is 32 years old, is returning from a lacerated spleen, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. After missing four games, Hollins will do what he can to help the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
“Patriots WR Mack Hollins is fully healthy now, but late in the season, sources say Hollins suffered a lacerated spleen that landed him on Injured Reserve. The painful and scary injury only cost Hollins four games. And he'll play today.”
The 2025-26 campaign is Hollins' first with the Patriots. He signed with the club after playing for the Buffalo Bills last season. Throughout his eight-year career, Hollins has played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, the Bills, and the Patriots.
Hollins proved to be a consistent target for quarterback Drake Maye, serving more as a third or fourth option in the passing game. Mack Hollins ended the regular season with 46 receptions, 550 yards, and two touchdowns.
We should expect Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte to play as the top two targets in the passing game for the Patriots in Super Bowl LX. However, don't rule out Hollins, as he could have some moments where his number is called and make big plays for the offense.
