A week ago, the rallying cry for Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte was to give Mack Hollins a chance to get back on the field.
Hollins needed to miss at least four weeks on Injured Reserve with his abdominal injury to be eligible for activation. Last week was his fourth week.
That brings up the AFC Championship Game. Hollins is eligible to return. He got back on the practice field, too.
He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's clash in Denver with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line.

Is Mack Hollins playing today?
The lean is that Hollins will play Sunday against the Broncos.
He's listed as questionable, but he had a full practice on Friday, which bodes well as long as he didn't sustain any setbacks.
The official inactive report will come out at 1:30 p.m. ET.

If Hollins is back, he adds a great WR blocker and a clutch set of hands for Drake Maye.
He would likely push Kyle Williams and Efton Chism into less playing time, although the Pats have rotated receivers pretty freely late in the season, so it's likely their whole depth chart would continue to get some opportunities.
Hollins also adds a unique energy that can only be good to try and get the Patriots to an AFC title.
