FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —

The New England Patriots’ wide receiver room will be missing Mack Hollins ahead of their playoff push after the team placed him on the injured reserve list on Saturday.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, 32-year-old Hollins sustained an abdominal injury.

The veteran receiver will miss at least the next four games, including playoffs. Hollins could return in the postseason if the Patriots advance.

With two games remaining in the regular season (the Jets and Miami), Hollins could return in either the AFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl.

A first-round bye would not factor into the required four-game absence for putting a player on injured reserve.

To offset the move, the Patriots signed defensive tackle Jeremiah Parms Jr. to the 53-man roster and elevated defensive back Kobee Minor and defensive lineman Leonard Taylor III to the active roster.
