With no receiver elevated from the practice squad, without Hollins, the feeling is Pop Douglas (hamstring) could be trending in the right direction for tomorrow afternoon. This could also be a week where Efton Chism III gets some significant reps.

The Patriots have placed wide receiver Mack Hollins on injured reserve, signed defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms Jr. to the 53-man roster and elevated defensive back Kobee Minor and defensive lineman Leonard Taylor III to the active roster.

Went to a movie last night and a dude walked into the theater, yelled DRAKE MAYE, then quietly found his seat. Honestly didn’t mind it.

The Patriots have ruled out seven players for Sunday's Week 17 game vs. the Jets 🏈

Reaching the 1,000-yard mark would also earn Stefon Diggs a $500,000 contract incentive.

Well that DPI was a Christmas gift for the Chiefs. Ball wasnt even remotely close to catchable.

This is Ghost, our little Christmas miracle. He almost died Saturday night due to a blocked bladder/kidney. Took four days of a catheter, IV, anti-inflammatory meds, and a lot of fight from him, but he's finally back home just now. Thankful doesn't even begin to describe it.

Patriots injury report (longest of season)

UPDATE: Kayshon Boutte (concussion) did NOT practice on Wednesday TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) was LIMITED in practice on Wednesday.

Washington WR Denzel Boston declares for NFL Draft

Opinion/analysis:

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

Patriots DT and FB Khyiris Tonga, knocked out this last game with a foot injury, has a one-or two-week injury, sources say. A good result for the do-it-all player, with New England’s playoff appearance on the horizon.

LB Robert Spillane, who has not played in the last 2 games, was not wearing a protective boot on his left foot during the media-access period. This is relayed as a potential sign of progress, as the boot was noted last week when Spillane was seen wearing it.

#Patriots DL Milton Williams will practice this week, his first week of being eligible to come off IR, per Mike Vrabel.

Dear god. Sunday night really decimated the Pats.

Mike Vrabel says he is about to tell WRs Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams — in the team meeting — how much he appreciated their ability to play 3 different spots in a pinch on Sunday night.

Sadly, the Pro Bowl is arguably one of the most flawed All-Star games. It's a popularity contest, as shown by Kelce having the most votes. I've never considered it a factor on the talent or career of a player.

Drake Maye and Christian Gonzalez have been voted to the 2026 Pro Bowl.

Fyi - The Saints’ 7th round pick which was acquired in the Davon Godchaux trade was later traded to the Steelers as part of the Kyle Dugger trade.

🚨🚨 WOW. In a handwritten letter just days before his death, Jeffrey Epstein told fellow sex offender Larry Nassar that “our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls.”

Since Keion White is indeed active for the 49ers in their game tonight against the Colts, the Patriots will keep their seventh-round pick in the 2026 draft.

So are they going to be the Kansas State Chiefs?

We're going to have solid gold aircraft carriers, with a full crew of orange, plastic surgery filled, clean shaven men paid for by anyone but him.

I mean, I'm sort of on DK's side here. If that guy said what he supposedly said, he's lucky a half hearted punch was all he got.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

Did You Know (via ESPN Research): WR Kyle Williams has 3 receiving TDs of 30-plus yards this season, becoming the first player to total that amount since Chris Hogan in 2016. The last Patriots player with more was Randy Moss (4, 2009).

It's possible, given a Chargers loss and Broncos win in W17, that LAC might have clinched a playoff spot but only have wild card seeding to play for in W18. And so Chargers could rest starters vs. Broncos in that scenario.

Updated AFC playoff forecast! FPI makes the Patriots No. 1 seed favorites, but I would put a large asterisks on that because: A. FPI is almost certainly overrating the Chiefs (Broncos W17 opponent) right now, even knowing QB situation. And B...

The AFC East scenarios. Patriots win 11; Bills win the other 5. Not quite over, but the Bills need a Dolphins or Jets upset somewhere in here.

Hollins wanted him to score, I love it.

This game could've gotten out of hand quickly coming out of halftime. Team really stepped it up to answer and make plays when they mattered.

Getting Drake Maye MVP chants from the away crowd in a close game is embarrassing Baltimore.

Finally Flowers pays for holding the ball out like that.

If Davis didn't hold up that would've been a pick six.

Kyle Williams getting the job done blocking there.

Stevenson pulls a Derrick Henry and bowls his way into the endzone.

My heart stopped for a second there.

Just like old times, gotta beat the team and the refs.

God I hate the NFL sometimes.

How is that not DPI?

Ice in his veins.

Hopkins still has a little magic left.

Oh man Gonzo coming in like a silent assassin.

Holy shit what a throw and catch.
