Patriots Face Roster Crisis as Hollins, Gilliam Hit IR Before Raiders Game
The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Mack Hollins and fullback Reggie Gilliam on injured reserve on Saturday, October 10, ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Both players will miss at least four games, leaving the team with only four active wide receivers. To fill the roster spots, the Patriots activated special teamer Brenden Schooler, signed cornerback Kindle Vildor, and elevated linebacker K.J. Britt and safety Elliott Davison from the practice squad. A.J. Brown remains on IR but is expected to return in Week 6.
