Mack Hollins will have a chance to do more than wow with his arrival and pregame outfits at Super Bowl 2026 after his scary in-season injury was revealed.

The Patriots receiver is active for Sunday’s big game against the Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium just weeks after he suffered a lacerated spleen, NFL Network reported just before kickoff.

Hollins, who showed up to the game wearing a prison jumpsuit complete with restraints and a face mask, missed four games due to the injury.

He is fully healthy now and will try to help the Patriots try to win their seventh Super Bowl. 

The 32-year-old Hollins had 46 catches (third on the team) for 550 yards and two touchdowns during 15 games.

He was placed on injured reserve with what was called an “abdominal injury” in late December, missing the final two regular season games and their first two postseason games before returning for the AFC Championship game.

Hollins signed with the Patriots in the offseason after being released by the AFC East rival Bills. 

His arrival outfits have become the stuff of legend.

He showed up barefoot to the game in Santa Clara in a maroon prison outfit with “Range 13” written on the back.

It seemed to reference ADX Florence supermax prison’s ultra-high-security unit in Colorado.  

“I don’t care if people think I’m cookie-cutter, individual or anything in between,” Hollins told The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy. “I’m OK with being me.”

The former fourth-round pick of the Eagles in 2017 had an extra outfit in store for fans on Sunday.

He donned Patriots coach Mike Vrabel’s “Warriors” high school football jersey on the field for warmups. 

Hollins has bounced around the league during his eight seasons.

His longest stint was with the Dolphins for two-plus seasons from 2019-21.

Hollins has also played for the Falcons and the Raiders.
