Patriots new starting QB must depend on cast of disappointing receivers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:46:02 GMT

FOXBORO — Patriots fans trying to find reasons to care about the 2023 season received some bad news Friday when rookie wide receivers Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte were both ruled out.Douglas, who’s missed practice all week while in concussion protocol for the second time this season, has been one of the lone bright spots for a Patriots offense in shambles. The 2023 sixth-round pick leads the Patriots with 410 receiving yards on 36 catches despite starting just four games.And Boutte, who missed practice Thursday and Friday with a listed shoulder injury and illness, has caught just two passes on seven targets for 19 yards this season but has captivated fans since he was also selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft because of his five-star pedigree as a high school recruit. There was a time during Boutte’s college career when he was considered a potential first-round prospect.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots-Chargers injury report: ...
