Patriots ship Boutte to Texans, add Reed to anchor safety depth

New England traded wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick, freeing about $2.7 million in cap space and reshaping the Patriots’ WR depth behind A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Boutte had been a productive target for Drake Maye, but New England’s evolving depth chart and Reed’s versatility—plus the team’s look to deploy more three-safety looks—made the deal make sense, while Reed provides cost-controlled depth at safety going forward.

Patriots ship Boutte to Texans for Reed and a 2028 pick

The New England Patriots traded wide receiver Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans in exchange for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh‑round pick, as New England seeks depth at safety and Boutte, frustrated by a shrinking role amid a crowded WR corps, eyes a clearer path elsewhere. Houston adds an outside deep threat to help its receiving corps amid injuries, while the Patriots gain depth and a future pick.

Patriots' depth tested as backups spark and stumble against Eagles

Patriots win 24-21 in the second preseason game, but depth issues showed up on defense (tackling, edge pressure, and coverage at linebacker), the injury-hit offensive line, and limited early work for some backups. Still, second-year receivers flashed (Kyle Williams and Efton Chism), Lan Larison boosted the third-back spot, Behren Morton served as emergency punter and helped drive the late scoring march, and Andy Borregales was perfect after a rough previous outing, leaving questions about roster depth ahead of the final preseason games.

Hurts Finishes Strong as Hunt Turns Heads in Eagles-Patriots Day 2 Practice

Day 2 of the Eagles–Patriots joint practices in Foxborough featured a strong late red-zone drive for the Eagles led by Jalen Hurts (connects with Goedert, Wicks and Brown for a TD and a two-point conversion) after a day of uneven moments. A.J. Brown won several red-zone reps against Quinyon Mitchell, while Kelee Ringo endured a rough outing. Rookie Jalyx Hunt stood out with a turnover near the end and drew praise from Patriots reporters. The run game was slower than Day 1 amid chippy conflict, and Eli Stowers flashed in spots but also showed some rough reps. The defense tightened later, with Woolen and Baun making plays as Hunt supplied the day’s highlight with a one-handed interception near the end.

First Reconnection Since Trade: Brown and Hurts Chat at Eagles-Patriots Practice

A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts were seen chatting at a joint Eagles-Patriots practice, marking their first interaction since Brown’s trade to New England; Brown had previously said there was no bad blood and that he wanted to keep things positive, despite earlier reports of friction over targeting; both played key roles in Philadelphia’s recent playoff runs, and Brown and the Patriots will meet Hurts’s Eagles in a Saturday preseason game at Gillette Stadium.

Maye Sparks Patriots Camp as WR Duo Connects and RB3 Battle Heats Up

Maye Sparks Patriots Camp as WR Duo Connects and RB3 Battle Heats Up

Drake Maye stood out at Monday’s Patriots practice, completing 15 of 17 passes in 11-on-11 and guiding a late scoring drive. He linked with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, including a 70-ish-yard TD to Brown, while Doubs led the team with four receptions. The RB3 spot remains unsettled behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, with Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty in the mix. Namdi Obiazor stepped into a starter-like role in Muma’s absence. The session lasted about 90 minutes of full-padded work, and Tuesday’s walkthrough is expected to be closed to the public.

Patriots preseason opener vs Colts reveals roster depth and kicking woes

Patriots preseason opener vs Colts reveals roster depth and kicking woes

Patriots’ first preseason game at Gillette exposed depth-chart battles more than star power: kicker Andy Borregales missed multiple field goals, while Bryce Baringer delivered solid punts; younger receivers like Boutte, Hollins, Williams, and Chism earned snaps with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs sidelined. Interior offensive line injuries to Ben Brown and Andrew Rupcich thin the depth, though James Hudson showed four-position versatility and Caleb Lomu had a costly downfield penalty. Jam Miller and Lan Larison carried most of the load in the backfield as Gabe Jacas impressed with his rush ability, and K.J. Britt and Chad Muma had mixed linebacker showings. The defense forced four turnovers with Kindle Vildor’s INT, but coverage against tight ends and some miscues at linebacker remain concerns heading into next week’s practices and game to tighten up the unit.

Patriots Cornerback Christian Gonzalez Misses Colts Practice; Injury Not Contract Issue

Christian Gonzalez was not seen at Tuesday’s Patriots–Colts joint practice due to a minor injury, not contract talks, per Greg Bedard. He had been a full participant this summer after a shakier spring, and Monday’s practice saw him contest a throw but stay on the field. ESPN’s Ian Rapoport said contract talks could extend into next season, while Gonzalez later appeared on NFL Network’s Top 100 list. The team is set to practice again Saturday, and there’s a chance he wouldn’t play in Thursday’s preseason opener anyway.

Colts-Pats joint practice: depth shines, skirmish flares, and early signals ahead of preseason

The Colts and Patriots held their first joint practice in Foxborough with notable depth on display as Josh Downs and Hunter Wohler returned from injuries and Charvarius Ward sat out with a back issue. Highlights included a two-minute sequence where Tommy DeVito hit Mack Hollins for a long score and Riley Leonard connected efficiently with the No. 2 offense, plus Camryn Bynum’s end-zone interception on a Drake Maye drive; a brief fight involving Durell Nchami also occurred. In red-zone work, Jonathan Taylor, Seth McGowan and Ulysses Bentley IV scored for Indy, though the Colts’ receivers weren’t always open and the offensive line faced pressure from the Patriots. Daniel Jones had a productive two-minute portion, and the pace was slower than a typical Colts practice, signaling competitive depth ahead of the preseason.

Patriots extend Henry to a two-year, $16 million deal through 2028

The New England Patriots signed veteran tight end Hunter Henry to a two-year, $16 million extension through the 2028 season, validating his role as quarterback Drake Maye’s security blanket and buying time for rookies Eli Raridon and Tanner Arkin to develop behind him. Henry has produced consistently (674 yards in 2024; 768 yards and seven TDs last season) and shows no signs of regression as he approaches 32, making him a stable anchor for the Patriots’ offense while the younger tight ends grow.
