New England Patriots’ wide receiver Kayshon Boutte suffered an apparent hamstring injury in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons and did not return for the remainder of the game. The underrated offensive weapon sat out last week’s practice and did not play in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Boutte was estimated as a limited participant during the short week.

According to Ian Rapoport, despite being limited, the Patriots are playing it safe and have ruledKayshon Boutte out for Week 11 against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. This marks the second game he has missed this season and the fourth over the past two years. With Boutte sidelined, the offense must count on Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, Pop Douglas, and Kyle Williams to carry the slack.
For the #Patriots, RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte, TE Austin Hooper and LB Christian Elliss have all been ruled out for TNF. https://t.co/Npxk0KVuxP

Austin Hooper suffered a concussion last week. He was unable to clear the concussion protocol in time and will miss his first game of the season. With Hooper sidelined, the Patriots must count on Hunter Henry and fullback Jack Westover, and they might elevate CJ Dippre from the practice squad for gameday for Thursday Night Football.
