Boutte Returns: Maye Eyes Big Plays Against Bengals
19 Nov
Summary
- Boutte's return from a hamstring injury is expected Wednesday.
- He had an impressive 10 catches for 223 yards and 4 TDs prior.
- Coach Vrabel anticipates Boutte's big-play ability will be missed.
After a two-week absence due to a hamstring injury, receiver Boutte is slated to return to practice this Wednesday, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. His presence is expected to significantly boost the team's offensive capabilities, particularly in making big plays downfield. The team has missed this explosive element in their recent games.
Prior to his injury, Boutte demonstrated exceptional performance, accumulating 223 receiving yards and four touchdowns on ten catches from twelve targets across three games. This highlights his crucial role and effectiveness when healthy. Quarterback Drake Maye is anticipated to re-establish a strong connection with Boutte upon his return.
The team's overall receiving corps, including notable players like Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, Deebo Samuel, and Jaylen Waddle, will be bolstered by Boutte's comeback. His ability to generate explosive plays is seen as a key factor for the upcoming matchup against the Bengals.
