"But an already banged-up Patriots roster didn't exactly receive good news on Wednesday. During New England's first practice of the week, both Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) were absent - while veteran center Garrett Bradbury was a non-participant. On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Christian Elliss was also sidelined by a hip injury and did not participate on Wednesday."
"If both Boutte and Stevenson can't play, the Patriots will have to once again rely on younger talent at both skill positions. Last week, rookie TreVeyon Henderson and practice-squad signee Terrell Jennings both made the most of their added reps in the ground game - combining for 90 rushing yards and a touchdown. If Boutte has to miss Sunday's game in Tampa, the next man up for New England would likely be rookie Kyle Williams."
The Patriots travel to Tampa to face Baker Mayfield and the 6-2 Buccaneers with several key players limited in practice. Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) did not practice, veteran center Garrett Bradbury was a non-participant, and linebacker Christian Elliss was sidelined by a hip issue. Stevenson missed the win over the Falcons and Boutte exited that game, increasing depth concerns. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson and practice-squad signee Terrell Jennings combined for 90 rushing yards and a touchdown when given extra reps. Kyle Williams and Ben Brown are the likely next men up at receiver and center if starters remain unavailable.
