Patriots Shock Fans: Kayshon Boutte’s Injury Report Status Raises Major Questions Ahead of Key Game
Well, here we go again — the Patriots’ injury saga is stirring up some fresh concern. Kayshon Boutte, the wide receiver who’s been a sparkplug this season, suddenly pops up on the injury list Thursday with a hamstring issue, after being mysteriously absent from it just a day before. Is it a rerun of that nagging nagging hammy that benched him for a couple games back in November? Or is this an entirely new hurdle? Boutte’s been a beacon of hope with 33 catches, over 550 yards, and six touchdowns across 14 games, so you can bet this news has the team and fans holding their breath. With Mack Hollins already sitting on injured reserve, the door swings wide open for Kyle Williams — but will Boutte’s availability tip the scales? Meanwhile, the Patriots are juggling a crowded room of aches, illnesses, and limited participants, all adding layers to an already complicated lineup puzzle.

The Patriots added wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to the injury report Thursday. Boutte was limited with a hamstring injury after not being on the report on Wednesday.
It is unclear whether Boutte’s injury is an aggravation of the hamstring injury that kept him out of two games in November or a new injury.
