Rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was praised for his practice performance in back-to-back weeks, and it finally translated to him getting another opportunity. The sixth-round draft pick was made active for the New England Patriots’ game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the first time since the season opener that he took the field.
Boutte ended up playing 26 of 69 possible snaps on offense (37.7%) as the de facto third option at the wide receiver position. As such, he primarily lined up on the perimeter to fill a role that was previously held by DeVante Parker and Jalen Reagor.
