FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins, whose role expanded when the team lost No. 1 target A.J. Brown to a high-ankle sprain in the season opener, was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Hollins hopped off the field on his right foot in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills, with the club announcing he had a calf injury.
Hollins leads the team with 15 receptions and 209 receiving yards, and now the Patriots (2-2) will have just four receivers -- Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III and Kyle Williams -- on their roster for Sunday's home game against the 3-1 Las Vegas Raiders (1 p.m., CBS).
