""I would expect them to be out there Wednesday. And then again, we'll see, monitor how that goes," Vrabel said. "To me, when you come back, it's just about the volume and handling what their normal volume would be. Can they, obviously, do their job up to what we expect and what they expect it to be, and being able to protect themselves out there?""
"Running back TreVeyon Henderson has seen an increased workload with Stevenson out. He has played in at least 75 percent of the offensive snaps over the past three games. That number had not reached higher than 50 percent before Stevenson's injury. Henderson is averaging 88 yards rushing over the past three games, and he has scored five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) over that span."
"Stevenson (toe) participated on Monday and Tuesday before missing Wednesday's practice. Wideout Kyle Williams has also received more playing time, appearing in at least 45 percent of snaps in each game that Boutte has been out. The speedy receiver made a highlight-reel 72-yard touchdown catch against the Buccaneers. It was his only catch of that three-game stretch, during which he had six targets. Veteran receivers Mack Hollins (57) and Stefon Diggs (46) both hit season-highs for snap counts against the Jets."
Kayshon Boutte and Rhamondre Stevenson are expected to be available for practice on Wednesday as the Patriots monitor their recovery from recent injuries. Both missed the last two games; Stevenson has not played since Oct. 26, while Boutte had one target on Nov. 2 and was limited in practices before the Jets game. Coach Mike Vrabel emphasized returning players must handle normal volume and protect themselves. Running back TreVeyon Henderson has taken on a larger role, averaging 88 rushing yards and five touchdowns over the past three games. Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, and Stefon Diggs have also seen increased snaps.
