Patriots-Broncos Inactives: Mack Hollins Returns For AFC Championship
The New England Patriots are in good shape for their matchup with the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship.
Mack Hollins (abdomen) and Carlton Davis (concussion) will be available for the contest, with the former returning following an extended absence and the latter clearing concussion protocol this week.
Harold Landry III, C.J. Dippre, Marcus Bryant, Caedan Wallace, Efton Chism III, Kobee Minor and Tommy DeVito are the only inactives, and all healthy scratches.
The Broncos will be without quarterback Bo Nix (ankle), who underwent surgery after fracturing his ankle during a divisional round victory over the Buffalo Bills. Troy Franklin, JL Skinner, Karene Reid, Alex Forsythe, Michael Bandy, Jordan Jackson and Sai’vion Jones will also be inactive.
