Vrabel Expects Stevenson, Boutte to Practice Wednesday Before Patriots’ Week 12 Visit to Bengals

Their availability for Sunday will hinge on how they handle practice reps this week.

Overview

Head coach Mike Vrabel said the team will reassess Rhamondre Stevenson and Kayshon Boutte after Wednesday’s session to determine their game status in Cincinnati.
Stevenson has been sidelined by a toe injury and has not played since Oct. 26.
Boutte has been dealing with a hamstring issue and was limited in practices before missing the last two games.
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has carried the load in Stevenson’s absence, logging at least 75% of snaps over the past three games with five total touchdowns and an 88-yard rushing average in that span.
With Boutte out, receivers Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams have taken on larger roles, including Hollins’ 10 catches for 170 yards over his last two games and Williams’ 72-yard touchdown in Tampa.
