The New England Patriots receiver situation may be slightly better than initially expected. Receivers Nelson Agholor (head) and Kendrick Bourne (COVID-19/reserve) were absent from practice on Wednesday, but N’Keal Harry was present. Perhaps Harry has a chance at playing against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16.
The absences of Agholor and Bourne were to be expected. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson’s absence, however, was a surprise. The notable attendees included running back J.J. Taylor after a trip to COVID-19/reserve and running back Damien Harris, who practice last week but missed the game with a hamstring injury.
The Patriots injury report will provide more detail about the reasons for absences and the levels of participation.
