Patriots activate S Brenden Schooler to the 53-man roster; Place FB Reggie Gilliam and WR Mack Hollins on injured reserv Via @Patriots on X

What happened: The New England Patriots activated safety Brenden Schooler to the 53-man roster. The team also placed wide receiver Mack Hollins and fullback Reggie Gilliam on injured reserve and made additional corresponding roster moves.

Why it matters: Schooler returns from the non-football injury list in time for Sunday's game against the Raiders. The injured reserve designations will sideline both Hollins and Gilliam for a minimum of four games, forcing New England to adjust its offensive depth.

By the numbers: Hollins caught 46 passes for 550 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games with the Patriots in 2025. Gilliam recorded 13 tackles in 17 games with the Bills last season.

What to watch: Schooler is expected to make his season debut on Sunday against the Raiders.
