The Patriots will need to elevate two receivers into starter type roles.
They placed Kendrick Bourne on IR earlier in the week, and DeVante Parker (concussion) is out. Parker won’t necessarily be back soon; he had a concussion late last year and missed three games.
Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster should start, but they’ll need one more.
Jalen Reagor has been on the field for about half of their plays over the last two weeks, but with just 1 catch for 11 yards. Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki could get a lot busier.
