Patriots News: Patriots Week 13 injury report: Two receivers miss Thursday's practice

[MadMax]

Things are getting scary thin for the New England Patriots at the wide receiver position. On Thursday’s injury report, rookies Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte were listed as non-participants at practice. Douglas is currently in concussion protocol after taking a vicious hit that went unflagged on special teams in last week’s loss to the New York Giants. Meanwhile, Boutte is currently dealing with a shoulder injury and illness. Douglas’ availability is likely in doubt for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but Boutte’s status is worth monitoring heading into the game. Here’s the full injury report for both teams on Thursday: New England Patriots Player Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game Status WR Demario Douglas Concussion DNP DNP RB Ty Montgomery II Illness DNP FP C David Andrews Foot Limited Limited LB Ja’Whaun Bentley Hamstring Limited Limited LB Chris Board Back Limited Limited WR Kayshon Boutte Shoulder Limited DNP OT Trent Brown Ankle/Chest Limited Limited RB Ezekiel Elliott Thigh Limited Limited OL Riley Reiff Knee Limited DNP WR Matthew Slater Ankle Limited Limited G Sidy Sow Ankle Limited Limited DL Deatrich Wise Jr. Shoulder Limited Limited DNP: Did not practice; LP: Limited participation ; FP: Full participation Los Angeles Chargers Player Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game Status WR Keenan Allen Quadricep DNP DNP OLB Khalil Mack Not injury-related Rest TE Nick Vannett Concussion DNP DNP G/T Zack Bailey Back Limited DNP T Trey Pipkins III Wrist Limited Limited T Rashawn Slater Back Limited FP S JT Woods Illness Limited Limited TE Gerald Everett Shoulder FP FP WR Quentin Johnston Ribs/Finger FP FP LB Eric Kendricks Knee FP FP LB Kenneth Murray Jr. Shoulder FP FP DL Otito Ogbonnia Knee FP FP DB Ja’Sir Taylor Illness DNP DNP: Did not practice; LP: Limited participation ; FP: Full participation It’s bad timing to have injuries at receiver considering the cushion the Chargers’ defensive backfield has been allowing opposing passing offenses. Assuming the offensive line holds up in pass protection, which is a stretch at this point, the Patriots might have some opportunities to take shots downfield. Whether they’re actually able to take advantage of those opportunities with a banged-up and underperforming receiving corps remains to be seen.
