FOXBORO — Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is “day-to-day” after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday’s win over the Falcons, per head coach Mike Vrabel.

Boutte left the game after playing 18 snaps. He was officially ruled out in the second half.

Vrabel said Boutte likely won’t practice early in the week, but “we’ll see where that goes late in the week.”

Rookie Kyle Williams played 31 snaps in Boutte’s place Sunday, though he didn’t catch any passes on one target.

“I’m excited that he’ll probably get an opportunity here, a little greater opportunity going forward,” Vrabel said.

Boutte is currently the Patriots’ second-leading receiver in a breakout season with 23 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns as one of the NFL’s top deep threats.

Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas could also take on bigger roles with Boutte out. Douglas caught four passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s win over the Falcons. It was the first 100-yard performance of Douglas’ career.
