FOXBORO, Mass. — There’s a good chance the Patriots will be down two receivers for Sunday’s game in Las Vegas. Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster both are dealing with concussions, and recent NFL history suggests they’ll miss at least one game.
One of the holes presumably would be filled by rookie Kayshon Boutte, who’s been inactive for every game since playing in the season opener. But the second vacancy likely would be filled by one of three practice squad receivers: Malik Cunningham, Jalen Reagor and T.J. Luther.
Bill Belichick on Friday hinted toward Cunningham getting a shot.
