The New England Patriots will be without top receiver Mack Hollins as they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, the Associated Press reported.
Hollins was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with a calf injury, and fullback Reggie Gilliam also moved to IR due to ankle and knee problems. Both must miss a minimum of four games.
The moves follow the loss of starting cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis III (neck), who were ruled out for the same matchup.
Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown remains on IR after a high‑ankle sprain suffered in the season opener and is eligible to practice next week.
