Story summary

The New England Patriots suffered another injury setback ahead of their game against the Las Vegas Raiders, with wide receiver Mack Hollins being placed on injured reserve due to a calf injury. Fullback Reggie Gilliam also joined him on IR because of ankle and knee injuries. Both players will be out for at least four games. The Patriots already lost starting cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis III (neck) for Sunday's game, adding to their defensive concerns. Hollins' absence is particularly significant as he leads the team in receptions with 15, totaling 209 yards this season. Additionally, key receiver A.J. Brown remains on injured reserve from a high-ankle sprain since the season opener against Seattle and won't return until next week at the earliest.
