Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel didn’t sound too optimistic earlier this week when it came to wide receiver Mack Hollins as the team started preparing for the Denver Broncos.
Apparently, things appear to have taken a positive turn.
Hollins was back out at practice on Thursday, which opens the window toward a return from injured reserve. He’s been out of the line-up since he suffered an abdominal injury back in Week 16.
That saw Hollins miss practice the following week ahead of their game against the Jets, before he was eventually placed on injured reserve on December 27th.
