FRANKFURT, Germany — Patriots rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is active for the first time since Week 1.

Boutte has been a healthy scratch since replacing wide receiver DeVante Parker in the starting lineup in the Patriots’ season opener. He’ll dress for Sunday’s game against the Colts at Frankfurt Stadium.

Defensive captain Ja’Whaun Bentley will not play, however. The veteran linebacker was questionable heading into Week 10 with a hamstring injury and is listed among the team’s six inactives.

Jahlani Tavai and Mack Wilson are likely to replace Bentley’s snaps at middle linebacker. The Patriots also could move rookie safety Marte Mapu to linebacker.

Cornerback Jack Jones and wide receiver Demario Douglas are among the players listed as questionable who will dress Sunday.

Belichick hinted earlier this week that Boutte could play. He lined up with the first-team offense in 7-on-7s during Friday’s practice in Frankfurt.
