Patriots–Buccaneers Week 10: Both Sides Rule Out Starters for Sunday in Tampa

Late-week injury rulings reshape personnel matchups for a battle of division leaders.

Overview

  • New England ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte and LB Christian Elliss, head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Friday.
  • Tampa Bay ruled out RB Bucky Irving, WR Chris Godwin and OLB Haason Reddick, with OLB Markees Watts also sidelined.
  • Kickoff is set for Sunday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium, with the game on CBS.
  • BetMGM lists the Buccaneers as roughly a 2.5-point favorite after their Week 9 bye.
  • Key matchup to watch: the Patriots’ No. 1 run defense (75.4 yards allowed per game, no opposing RB over 50 yards) against a shorthanded Bucs offense, as QB Drake Maye enters with eight straight 100-plus passer ratings and New England riding a six-game win streak.
