New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Henderson can be a problem for the Broncos on Sunday. The rookie back can make a big play happen any time he touches the ball. Even splitting touches with Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson could be a factor. |
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Hollins can get out there on Sunday against the Broncos. He's coming back from IR with this abdomen injury and not a lock to play. If he does play, Hollins will block (his forte) and be a deep threat for the Pats. |

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Henry is a seasoned veteran getting some rest. He's good for the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos, and with their weakness covering tight ends he could have a big game. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Historically, the Broncos struggle to cover tight ends and Henry is one of the best. Expect QB Drake Maye to target him early and often against the Broncos in the AFC Championship on Sunday. |

Link to storyNew England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) will not return to practice on Wednesday, Jan. 21, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Hollins landed on IR in late December with this injury. Vrabel said "I can't be certain" when asked if Hollins would be able to play in the AFC Championship Game. Without Hollins, the team will turn to Kayshon Boutte as their downfield threat. |
Mack Hollins player page
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins' (abdomen) availability for the AFC Championship game is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Hollins is currently on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: Hollins is eligible to come off injured reserve this week after being placed on the list in late December. Hollins was a key offensive factor for New England in 2025, catching 46 passes for 550 yards with two touchdowns in 15 games. He was third on the team in receptions behind Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry and fourth in receiving yards behind Diggs, Henry, and Kayshon Boutte. New England's first injury report of the week will be released on Wednesday. |

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 16-of-27 passes for 179 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans, advancing to face the Denver Broncos on the road in the AFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 25. RB Rhamondre Stevenson (eye) returned to finish with 16 carries and 70 yards, while adding four receptions for 11 yards on four targets. Rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson had 12 runs for 25 yards, while adding a catch for minus-2 yards on two targets. WR Kayshon Boutte hauled in three receptions for a game-high 75 yards and a TD on five targets, with WR Stefon Diggs posted four receptions, 40 yards and a TD on a team-best six targets. WR DeMario Douglas also had two catches for 36 yards and a score, with TE Austin Hooper posting a 14-yard grab on two targets, TE Hunter Henry posting a 5-yard catch on two targets and CB Christian Gonzalez leading the team with nine total stops and six solo tackles with a pass defensed. CB Marcus Jones had two stops with two passes defensed and a 26-yard interception for touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Like the other teams remaining in these playoffs, the Patriots have their own flaws but have overcome them in resounding fashion through two playoff games by turning up the intensity defensively and riding the wave of excitement at home. They're now one game from returning to the Super Bowl -- Sunday's AFC Championship Game at the Bo Nix-less Denver Broncos -- a reality that would have been inconceivable just one year ago. |

| Footballguys view: Back-to-back full practices for Henry signal that he should play Sunday without any limitations. Henry has displayed a strong connection with Drake Maye near the end zone this year, keeping him in consideration as one of the week's top tight ends. |

| Footballguys view: Johnson joined New England's practice squad midseason and was signed to the 53-man roster in mid-December. He appeared in seven regular-season games for the club. But he played just two special teams snaps in the playoff victory over the Chargers on Sunday night. |

New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Gonzalez sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday night's 16-3 wild-card win over the Los Angeles Chargers and did not return to the game. The Patriots will host the winner of Monday night's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans at home on Sunday. Gonzalez will have to make it through the five-step protocol to play. |

Drake Maye completed 17 of 29 passes for 268 yards, with one touchdown and one interception in a 16-3 win over the Chargers in the wild card game Sunday night. He also ran for 66 yards on 10 carries and lost a fumble. Rhamondre Stevenson ran the ball 10 times for 66 yards and added 75 yards on three receptions. Kayshon Boutte had four catches for 66 yards and Hunter Henry had three catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. TreVeyon Henderson carried the ball nine times for 27 yards and had one catch for nine yards. Stefon Diggs had two catches for 16 yards.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers defense did not roll over, as the Patriots didn't score a touchdown until well into the second half. Drake Maye turned the ball over twice, which kept the Chargers in the game along with holding New England to three field goals. Maye created most of the Patriots offense, with Stevenson the much more effective back than the second round rookie TreVeyon Henderon, who didn't have any impact plays on the night. Hunter Henry had the only touchdown on a perfect ball from Maye just past the outstretched fingers of Derwin James, and Kayshon Boutte was a bigger factor than Stefon Diggs. The Patriots will have another tough defense up next week whether the Steelers or Texans win on Monday night. |

Maye also lost a fumble. RB Rhamondre Stevenson finished with 10 carries for 53 yards and caught three passes for a team-best 75 yards, and RB TreVeyon Henderson gained just 11 yards on seven carries while catching one pass for nine yards. WR Kayshon Boutte hauled in four passes for 66 yards, and TE Hunter Henry turned three catches into 64 yards and a score. WR Stefon Diggs was limited to 16 yards on two receptions, and Efton Chism III caught a 20-yard pass and failed to complete his only pass attempt. WR Kyle Williams ended up with one catch for seven yards, and WR Demario Douglas gained three yards on his only catch.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, but is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like there's no reason for concern here as Henderson isn't on the final injury report. He's in a split backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson, but his big-play upside and pass-catching abilities make him a viable fantasy option, even with a limited load. |
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Henry has emerged as one of Drake Maye's favorite targets, especially near the end zone. In a smaller slate of playoff games than a normal regular-season week, he's one of the top fantasy tight ends. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: A mid-week addition to the injury report is never a good thing, and Boutte hasn't logged a full practice since being added to Thursday's report. If he's active, there's a chance that he's limited. He's a risky start this weekend against the Chargers. |
