Kayshon Boutte, the wide receiver for the New England Patriots, took an innovative approach to share his injury status on Monday. Instead of waiting for reporters to relay the news, he utilized his Discord server to communicate directly with fans.
Boutte informed his followers, “Just got the MRI results back, it”s only a grade 1 sprain so that”s a good thing (praying emoji). Shouldn”t be down too long but we working to get back. It”s a possibility I play Sunday in Tampa depending how I”m feeling but if not then hopefully I”m good for the Jets on TNF. I”ll keep y”all updated. Just know I”m working to get it stronger and come back better.”
This personal update comes after Boutte exited Sunday”s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Initially marked as questionable for a return, the Patriots later ruled him out before the game concluded. Despite his absence, New England managed to secure a narrow 24-23 victory, aided by a late missed extra point from Atlanta”s Parker Romo.
With the Patriots still vying for a playoff spot in the AFC East, having Boutte back on the field would be a significant boost. This season, he has already reached a career-high with five touchdown receptions, showcasing his growth in his third year in the NFL. The sooner he can return, the better it will be for the team”s playoff aspirations.
In addition to Boutte”s update, the league is buzzing with various narratives, including the Washington Commanders” questionable decisions during games and the latest moves from teams like the Baltimore Ravens, who have made trades to enhance their defensive line.
