Overview
- Boutte exited Sunday’s 24-23 win over the Falcons after 18 snaps and was ruled out for the second half.
- Mike Vrabel said Boutte likely will not practice early this week and will be evaluated later to determine his status for the Buccaneers game.
- The second-year receiver has 23 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns, converting nine of 10 deep targets for 236 yards and all five scores.
- Rookie Kyle Williams logged a season-high 31 snaps in Boutte’s place and is expected to see an expanded opportunity, with Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas also positioned for more targets.
- Douglas posted his first 100-yard game and a touchdown against Atlanta, while broader snap shifts included TreVeyon Henderson’s season-high 51 snaps with Rhamondre Stevenson out and Jack Gibbens stepping in at linebacker after Christian Elliss’s hip injury.
