The New England Patriots face significant challenges as they prepare for their upcoming match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team will be missing three integral players: Kayshon Boutte, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Christian Elliss. Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed their absence during a press briefing on Friday.
Player Status Updates
- Kayshon Boutte: Out due to a hamstring injury. He did not participate in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday.
- Rhamondre Stevenson: Out with a toe injury. Stevenson has contributed significantly this season.
- Christian Elliss: Out due to a hip injury.

- Boutte has achieved 23 receptions and 431 receiving yards, leading the team with five touchdown catches.
