Kayshon Boutte skips competitive reps at Patriots minicamp practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte did not take part in competitive reps during Thursday's final practice of mandatory minicamp. This follows his participation in 11-on-11 drills earlier in the week. While various factors may explain his absence, the presence of new signings A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs raises questions about Boutte's role in the team's crowded wide receiver lineup. Attention will be on his status as the team prepares for training camp in late July.
