The New England Patriots received mixed news regarding receiver Kayshon Boutte, who left the game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9 due to a hamstring injury.
Head coach Mike Vrabel provided an update on Boutte, stating he is day-to-day and will not practice early in the week, creating more opportunities for rookie receiver Kyle Williams.
Vrabel stated that Williams was learning several spots in Josh McDaniels's offense but has finally settled down.
This development suggests the Patriots may rely on in-house options to replace Boutte's production, making it unlikely they will make additions to the receiver room ahead of the trade deadline.
Author's note: Patriots may not make trade deadline moves due to minor injury.
