Kayshon Boutte - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Four catches versus Chargers Boutte caught all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.

Impact Boutte approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring injury. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the wideout logged a 53 percent snap share Sunday, which is a lighter workload than he usually sees, but Boutte still ended up pacing the team in catches and was second to RB Rhamondre Stevenson (75) in the receiving yards department. Assuming no issues with his hamstring moving forward, Boutte -- who averaged 16.7 yards a catch during the regular season -- will continue to be a mainstay in the Patriots offense in the team's divisional round playoff game against either the Steelers or Texans this coming weekend, while working in a WR corps that also features Stefon Diggs.

Active versus Chargers Boutte (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday night's playoff opener against the Chargers.

Impact Boutte was added to the Patriots' wild-card-round injury report Thursday after being limited in practice by a hamstring injury, a level of participation that the wideout maintained Friday before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With Boutte available versus Los Angeles, he'll be in a position to maintain his key role in a New England corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. During the regular season, Boutte caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests, but QB Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around has made the 2023 sixth-rounder a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late.

Questionable for playoff opener Boutte (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's playoff opener against the Chargers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Boutte was added to the Patriots' wild-card round injury report Thursday after being limited in practice by a hamstring injury. With the wideout now being deemed questionable as the weekend approaches, Boutte's status for Sunday's contest could turn into a game-day call ahead of New England's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Boutte ends up limited or out versus Los Angeles, Kyle Williams would be a candidate to see added opportunities in a wide receiver corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. Meanwhile, WRs John Jiles, Brandon Smith and Jeremiah Webb are members of New England's practice squad.

Added to injury report Thursday Boutte (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact Boutte wasn't listed on the Patriots' initial injury report Wednesday, so it's unclear if the wideout emerged from that session with a hamstring issue, or sustained an injury during Thursday's practice. Friday's final report will reveal whether Boutte approaches Sunday's playoff opener against the Chargers with an injury designation, in any case.

Two catches in Week 18 Boutte caught two of his four targets for 24 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Impact In Boutte's return to action after missing one game due to a concussion, he logged a 58 percent snap share, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. That workload was actually tops among the Patriots WRs in Week 18, and looking ahead to Sunday's postseason opener against the Chargers, Boutte figures to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, though the team's tendency to spread the ball around makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option. On the season, the 2023 sixth-rounder caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests.

Cleared for Week 18 Boutte (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

Impact Boutte was limited Wednesday, but worked fully Thursday and Friday and has now been cleared to return to action after being inactive in Week 17. In 13 regular-season contests, Boutte has recorded a 31/527/6 receiving line on 42 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on IR, look for Boutte to step right back into a significant snap share in Week 18, while working alongside fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.

Practices in full Boutte was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Boutte was limited in practice Wednesday and has since shed his non-contact jersey, but the Patriots have not yet officially confirmed whether he's cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In order to retake the field for Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami, Boutte will need to officially gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.

Sheds non-contact jersey Boutte (concussion) is practicing Thursday without a red non-contact jersey, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Boutte appears on track to practice in full Thursday, but the Patriots haven't yet officially disclosed whether he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. In any case, Boutte looks to be trending toward a return to the field during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins, but to do so he'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.

Limited in practice Wednesday Boutte (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Boutte wasn't able to suit up for New England's blowout win over the Jets in Week 17, but he's making progress ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami. Of course, in order to retake the field versus the Dolphins, Boutte will first have to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

Returns to practice Boutte (head) returned to practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Boutte wore a red, non-contact jersey, indicating that he still has multiple steps to clear in concussion protocol before he can play in a game. He missed Sunday's blowout win over the Jets but could be back for Week 18 against Miami.

Won't play Sunday Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact The same applies to Mack Hollins (abdomen), and in the duo's looming absence, look for Stefon Diggs to lead the Patriots' Week 17 WR corps, with Kyle Williams and DeMario Douglas (hamstring, questionable) -- if available -- in line to see added opportunities. Also in mix will be Efton Chism, while John Jiles, Brandon Smith and Jeremiah Webb are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.

Not seen at Friday's practice Boutte (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Boutte was also listed as a 'DNP' Wednesday and Thursday, and it looks like the Patriots could be without him and Mack Hollins (abdomen, also absent from Friday's session) this weekend against the Jets. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal whether either player has a chance to be active in Week 17.

Not practicing Wednesday Boutte (concussion) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Boutte is in the NFL's concussion protocol, with the wideout's absence Wednesday now giving him two more chances to make a practice appearance before the Patriots' Week 17 injury designations are revealed. If Boutte isn't cleared for Sunday's game against the Jets, fellow WR Kyle Williams would be in line for added snaps.
