News

  • Four grabs in Sunday's win

    Douglas caught four of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Neither offense saw much success Sunday, but Douglas at least tied for the Patriots' lead in receptions with Kayshon Boutte, Douglas' 50 yards were his highest total since Week 6, and on the season he sports a modest 39-356-1 line on 53 targets through 10 games. The switch to rookie Drake Maye under center gives the New England passing attack more upside, but so far Douglas hasn't benefitted on a consistent basis. The slot receiver could make a bigger impact in Week 11 against the Rams.

  • Seven catches in loss

    Douglas recorded seven catches on nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Douglas led the Patriots with nine targets and tied for the team lead with seven receptions. Drake Maye didn't push the ball down the field much, limiting Douglas' yardage potential, though he still managed his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 6 and just his fourth such reception of the campaign. While his final line was unremarkable, Douglas' ability to command targets was notable after seeing only six combined across his two prior games.

  • Stays quiet with two catches

    Douglas caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Douglas finished sixth on the team in receiving yards while no Patriots player had more than 46 receiving yards or a touchdown through the air. The slot receiver will likely be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett in Week 9 against the Titans, as Drake Maye entered the concussion protocol in the first half of Sunday's win.

  • Not on injury report

    Douglas (illness) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report released Wednesday.

    Analysis: An illness limited Douglas to 20 snaps in this past Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, but the wideout is evidently back at full strength, given that he avoided the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. As a result, Douglas should return to his normal workload this weekend and serve as one of quarterback Drake Maye's preferred targets. While playing roughly six quarters of the two games that Maye has started, Douglas has turned in an 8-106-1 receiving line on 12 targets.

  • Unable to shake off illness Sunday

    Douglas missed most of the second half of Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars after he felt under the weather after waking up ill earlier in the day, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Douglas caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the first half, but shortly after halftime, the Patriots labeled him as questionable to return due to an illness. The second-year wideout appeared to check back into the game for one snap in the second half, but New England never officially announced that he was cleared to return to the game. The Patriots may have been consciously staying away from Douglas after he required anti-nausea medication in addition to an IV prior to the game so…read more

  • Iffy to return due to illness

    Douglas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London due to an illness.

    Analysis: Douglas reeled in two of his three targets for 14 yards before falling ill. He seems to be keeping himself prepared to check back into the game, with Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald noting that Douglas rode the stationary bike on the sideline and took part in some stretching during the third quarter. If Douglas doesn't ultimately return to the contest, the Patriots should provide an update on his condition shortly after the game concludes.

  • Scores first NFL TD in Maye's start

    Douglas caught six of nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Douglas' 35-yard touchdown came in the fourth quarter after the result was no longer in doubt, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick will cherish it all the same as the first touchdown of his NFL career. Douglas was heavily involved throughout Drake Maye's first NFL start under center, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The slot receiver's off to an up-and-down start, with 19 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown in his three best games and just five catches for 25 yards in…read more

  • Leads air attack in loss

    Douglas secured six of nine targets for 59 yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: All three components of Douglas' receiving line were team highs. Douglas benefitted from the absence of No. 2 receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder) and wasn't impacted by the season debut of veteran Kendrick Bourne (knee), who drew a sole target. Bourne will naturally be more involved in coming weeks, but Douglas has outperformed Osborn thus far this season and should therefore retain a solid role under any circumstance during a Week 6 home matchup against the Texans.

  • Three catches versus 49ers

    Douglas was one the field for 38 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After catching seven of nine targets for 69 yards and gaining nine rushing yards on one carry versus the Jets in Week 3, Douglas was held to three catches on as many targets for 13 yards Sunday. For now, he remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option while working in an inconsistent New England offense, but if things pick up for the team's passing game in the coming weeks, the 2023 sixth-rounder should remain involved enough to carve out some PPR utility.

  • Busy night in Week 3 loss

    Douglas secured seven of nine targets for 69 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Douglas was essentially the lone offensive bright spot for the Patriots on the night, posting team-high totals across his receiving line. It was quite the resurgence for the second-year wideout, who'd been blanked altogether, including in targets, during the team's Week 2 overtime loss to the Seahawks. Douglas may prove to be the most consistent member of an inexperienced Patriots receiving corps over time, and he'll look to build on Thursday's momentum in a Week 4 road matchup against the…read more

  • Not targeted Sunday

    Douglas, who logged 38 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks and went without a target.

    Analysis: Douglas' quiet Week 2 effort occurred in a game in which just five of quarterback Jacoby Brissett's 27 passing attempts went to wide receivers, with Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) seeing three targets and K.J. Osborn (51 snaps) logging two. Afterward, head coach Jerod Mayo acknowledged that getting Douglas more involved needs to be a priority for the Patriots ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets, per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. However, until such an approach results in added targets for…read more

  • Two grabs in Week 1 win

    Douglas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: No Patriots pass catcher recorded more than three receptions, so in that context, Douglas, New England's de facto No. 1 receiver, didn't have an appreciably quieter afternoon than his teammates. There could be many similarly modest receiving lines for the second-year speedster sprinkled throughout the season as long as New England can effectively lean on the ground attack and its defense, but Douglas may have a chance at more opportunity in a Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Catches three passes from Maye

    Douglas recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Douglas played exclusively in three-receiver sets, but he was still among the snap leaders for the Patriots in their first several offensive possessions as he worked primarily alongside Tyquan Thornton and K.J. Osborn. His longest catch of the day came on a third down midway through the first quarter that went for 16 yards and was delivered by Drake Maye. More importantly, Douglas looks to be the starting slot receiver for the Patriots heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Bengals.

  • Suits up for preseason loss

    Douglas caught one of two targets for one yard in Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: It was nice to see Douglas suit up Thursday after he missed the preseason opener against the Panthers due to a hand injury. The second-year slot receiver accounted for one of Jacoby Brissett's three completions in the first quarter. Regardless of whether Brissett or rookie third overall pick Drake Maye starts under center in the regular season, Douglas figures to be one of the Patriots' top pass catchers after posting 561 receiving yards as a rookie in 2023. New England's preseason finale will…read more

    Douglas (hand) has shed his red no-contact jersey, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Douglas, who had previously been wearing a no-contact jersey in practice as he managed what he described as a minor hand injury, sat out the Patriots' preseason opener last week. Now that he's back to working without any restrictions, the second-year pass catcher could see action in this Thursday's exhibition contest against the Eagles. As the coming season approaches, Douglas is poised to maintain a key/steady role in New England's WR corps, a context that should allow the 2023 sixth-rounder…read more

    Douglas (hand) isn't slated to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Panthers, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: While the Patriots are in line to play their healthy starters, Douglas has been wearing a red non-contact jersey in practice of late, as he manages what he has described as a minor hand injury. At this stage, Douglas' Week 1 status isn't in jeopardy, but it remains to be seen if he'll take the field next Thursday against the Eagles.

    As Friday's practice progressed, Douglas returned to wearing a red (non-contact) jersey, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: During the early portion of the session, Douglas worked without the red jersey, but it appears as though the wideout continues to exercise caution with what he has described as a minor hand injury. With that in mind, Douglas' Week 1 status is in no apparent danger, but it remains to be seen if he'll take the field in Thursday's preseason opener against the Panthers.

As the coming season approaches, Douglas is expected to maintain a steady role in a crowded Patriots WR corps that parted ways with DeVante Parker this offseason but added 2024 second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk and fourth-rounder Javon Baker, along with veteran free agent K.J.

    Douglas, who has been dealing with a hand issue, participated in 7-on-7 drills Tuesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Douglas sported a red (non-contact) jersey Tuesday, but the wideout's participation in 7-on-7 drills solidifies the notion that his hand issue wasn't a major concern. As the coming season approaches, Douglas has an opportunity to claim a key role in a crowded New England receiving corps that parted ways with DeVante Parker this offseason while adding 2024 second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk and fourth-rounder Javon Baker, as well veteran free agent K.J. Osborn.

    Coach Jerod Mayo said Friday that Douglas (hand) is "day-to-day" and only dealing with a minor injury, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Douglas' hand injury has limited him from yet taking part in team drills at training camp, but it doesn't appear that he's dealing with anything long-term. The second-year pro reportedly impressed at spring practices, and once back on the field at training camp he'll work to continue building some positive momentum. There are opportunities up for grabs in New England's crowded wide receiver room -- and Douglas was one of the offense's lone bright spots as a rookie -- but he faces competition…read more

  • Slowed by hand issue

    Douglas has been limited by a hand injury for the last few days, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: Douglas drew strong reviews for his play during spring practice, potentially helping him separate himself in a crowded New England wide receiver room. That continued momentum from a solid rookie season, during which he posted 49 receptions for 561 yards in one of the worst offenses in the league, so he should have an advantage over newcomers such as K.J. Osborn and Javon Baker. Nevertheless, it will be important for him to get back on the field quickly to cement his depth chart standing heading…read more

  • Shines at spring practices

    Douglas was the Patriots' "best and most explosive playmaker" at spring practices, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Douglas led the team in receiving last season as a rookie sixth-round pick, albeit with only 561 yards and nary a touchdown. Around 65 percent of his snaps and production came from the slot, which presents a potential complication for a New England offense with three veteran WRs -- Kendrick Bourne (knee), K.J. Osborn and JuJu Smith-Schuster -- that are arguably at their best working inside. All three are at least 6-foot, 200 pounds, while Douglas is much shorter (5-foot-8, 192) but also the…read more

    Douglas caught two of five targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: As if catching passes from Bailey Zappe against the stout Jets secondary wasn't tough enough on its own, Douglas also had to contend with a snowstorm. The 2023 sixth-round draft pick showed some promise this season with 49 catches for 561 yards on 78 targets, though he failed to score a touchdown across 14 games as a rookie. The Patriots will likely try to bolster their wide-receiver room in the offseason, but Douglas could also benefit from a potential upgrade at quarterback, which could come…read more

  • Three catches in Sunday's loss

    Douglas caught three of five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: It was modest production, but Douglas actually led the Patriots' wide receiver corps in targets, in part due to the early exit of DeVante Parker (ribs). Douglas has hauled in at least three passes in eight straight games for which he's been active dating back to Week 7, posting a 37-405-0 line on 56 targets during that time. The rookie wideout will look to end his season with a splash in Week 18 against the Jets.

    Douglas recorded five receptions on nine targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Douglas paired with DeVante Parker to lead a depleted New England pass-catching corps that was without JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Hunter Henry (knee). He picked up the majority of his yardage on a 41-yard contested catch over a Broncos defender early in the third quarter. Overall, Douglas has topped over 70 yards in two of his last four games, though that was interrupted by two missed contests due to a concussion. His strong close to the season could help him secure a significant role with…read more

  • Three catches in return

    Douglas, who was on the field for 38 of a possible 53 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Kansas City, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught three of his five targets in the contest for 33 yards.

    Analysis: In his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion, Douglas slid back into a key role in the Patriots offense, and that should remain the case for the 2023 sixth-rounder over the final three weeks of the season. Douglas' fantasy upside during that stretch hinges on the performance of an inconsistent passing attack, but the rookie wideout should at least see steady enough playing time and targets to merit attention in deeper PPR formats.

  • Set to return Sunday

    After clearing the NFL's concussion protocol, Douglas doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Douglas missed the Patriots' last two games, but he'll be back in action this weekend and should reclaim a key role in the team's Week 15 pass-catching corps. In the 10 games he's suited up for, Douglas has averaged 3.6 catches on 5.5 targets for 41 yards, a rate of production that gives the 2023 sixth-rounder modest fantasy utility in PPR formats.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Coach Bill Belichick said Friday that Douglas (concussion) has cleared the NFL's protocol and "should be available" Sunday versus the Chiefs, Mike Kadlick of 93.7 WEEI Boston reports.

    Analysis: Douglas has missed two games while progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocol, but barring any setbacks it looks like the wideout will be available Week 15. A rookie sixth-round pick, Douglas has drawn 38 targets in his last five appearances and is averaging 53.4 receiving yards per game in that span. That puts him on the fantasy radar as a potential flex option, though Kansas City's secondary represents a tough matchup.

    Analysis: Douglas has missed back-to-back games, but the rookie wide receiver's capped sessions Wednesday and Thursday offer hope that he could potentially return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. Also listed as limited by the Patriots on Thursday were fellow WRs DeVante Parker (knee), JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle), Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder).

DeVante Parker saw a team-high nine targets in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers, and he'll be the favorite to serve as New England's de facto No. 1 wideout again, assuming he's able to play through the minor knee injury that has him listed as questionable.

    Analysis: Douglas hasn't resumed practicing since entering the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after a 10-7 Week 12 loss to the Giants. With Thursday's game against the Steelers fast approaching, Douglas is running out of time to clear the protocol. DeVante Parker (knee), Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) led New England's receiving corps with Douglas sidelined in this past Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Douglas didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, either, so the 2023 sixth-rounder could be ruled out for Week 13 action later Friday. If that ends up being the case, DeVante Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton would be in line to work as the Patriots' top WRs versus the Chargers on Sunday.

  • Sitting out practice again

    Douglas (concussion) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: For the second time this season, Douglas is in concussion protocol after he exited this past Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants with the head injury. Douglas has opened Week 13 prep with consecutive absences from practice, and unless he takes a dramatic step forward in terms of activity Friday, he'll most likely be ruled out ahead of this Sunday's game against the Chargers. The rookie's potential absence this weekend could open up more reps out of the slot for JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan…read more

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Douglas (concussion) wasn't spotted participating in practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though head coach Bill Belichick was previously unwilling to confirm as much, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald relays that Douglas entered the NFL's concussion protocol after being forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Giants. Given that Douglas was previously diagnosed with a concussion Oct. 8 and proceeded to miss the Patriots' ensuing Week 6 game, the wideout may face an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol ahead of this Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Douglas is…read more

  • Exits early Sunday with head injury

    Douglas won't return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a head injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the game, Douglas caught six of his nine targets for 49 yards. Given that Douglas was quickly downgraded to out after initially being listed as doubtful to return to the game, he presumably suffered a concussion. Douglas previously sat out the Patriots' Week 6 game against the Raiders due to a concussion, so if he's in the protocol for head injuries again, he'll be at high risk of missing the team's Week 13 game against the Chargers.

  • Leading receiver against Indy

    Douglas caught six of nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The sixth-round rookie led the Patriots in catches, targets and receiving yards as he put together the best performance of his young career, and it was Douglas that Bailey Zappe was looking for on a game-ending interception late in the fourth quarter. It's not clear whether Zappe or Mac Jones will be under center for New England coming out of next week's bye, but Douglas appears to be solidifying his spot as the top option in the team's passing attack ahead of a Week 12 clash with the Giants.

  • Suits up Sunday

    Douglas (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Douglas approached the contest listed as questionable after logging limited practices this week, but with his Sunday availability confirmed, the 2023 sixth-rounder will remain a key target for QB Mac Jones in a New England WR corps that will be without both Kendrick Bourne (knee, IR) and DeVante Parker (concussion). In each of his last two games, Douglas -- who led the team with 55 receiving yards in last weekend's 20-17 loss to the Commanders -- has recorded five catches and seven targets, a…read more

  • Expected to play in Germany

    Douglas (ankle), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Douglas logged limited practices throughout the week, suggesting he's in a good position to play. However, his status will not become official until shortly before the team's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Douglas is active, he should command plenty of targets, with both Kendrick Bourne (knee) and DeVante Parker (concussion) sidelined.

  • Questionable for Week 10

    Douglas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Analysis: Douglas is one of nine players listed by the Patriots as questionable for the contest, but fortunately for those inclined to use the 2023 sixth-rounder in Week 10 fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. As long as Douglas is available this weekend, he'll remain a key target in a WR corps that will be without both Kendrick Bourne (knee, IR) and DeVante Parker (concussion).

    Douglas (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Douglas was also limited Wednesday, so unless he's listed as a full participant Friday, chances are the rookie receiver will approach Sunday's game against the Colts with an injury designation. If Douglas is available this weekend, he'll continue to be a key target in a New England receiving corps that will be without both Kendrick Bourne (knee) and DeVante Parker (concussion) .

  • Limited by ankle issue

    Douglas was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Douglas appears on the Patriots' first Week 10 injury report after he paced the New England receivers in offensive snaps (53) and receiving yards (55) in this past Sunday's loss to the Commanders. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Douglas' limitations Wednesday may well be maintenance-related. In any case, he'll need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid heading into Sunday's game against the Colts with an injury designation.

  • Team's leading receiver in Week 9

    Douglas caught five of seven targets for 55 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Douglas led the Patriots in receiving yards while tying Hunter Henry and JuJu Smith-Schuster for the team lead in targets. With Kendrick Bourne (knee) done for the season, Douglas has become New England's top receiver on the outside, at least until DeVante Parker (concussion) returns. Douglas has 20 targets over the past three games, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick is still searching for his first NFL touchdown heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Colts in Frankfurt.

  • Could take on expanded role

    The Patriots are expected to lean more heavily on Douglas in the passing attack in the coming weeks after Kendrick Bourne (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: In Week 8, Douglas led the team's wide receivers in snaps (41) and caught a season-high five passes on seven targets for 25 yards. With Bourne on injured reserve and DeVante Parker in the NFL's concussion protocol, Douglas will likely be busy Sunday against the Commanders. If Parker is sidelined, JuJu Smith-Schuster and possibly Tyquan Thornton could also be in store for expanded roles in the team's thinned-out receiver ranks. The season-long absence of Bourne should enable Douglas to maintain…read more

  • Leads team with five catches

    Douglas secured five of seven targets for 25 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Patriots' 31-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie's catch and target totals were both team highs, with the former also qualifying as a new personal best in his young career. Douglas has flashed the type of skill set that would probably already see him thriving with a higher caliber of quarterback than Mac Jones, but he still retains plenty of upside based on his speed and apparently expanding role in the offense -- he's now drawn 13 targets over the last two contests heading into a Week 9 home matchup against a vulnerable Commanders…read more

  • Gets 74 scrimmage yards in return

    Douglas (concussion) caught four of six targets for 54 yards and added a 20-yard rush in Sunday's 29-25 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Douglas was productive after missing the previous game due to a concussion. The 2023 sixth-round pick out of Liberty set a new career high in receiving yards while tying his previous high with four catches. Douglas' 20-yard run in the third quarter was New England's longest rushing play of the season. His speed should continue to earn Douglas touches in Week 8 against the Dolphins.

    Douglas (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: After practicing in a limited fashion this week, Douglas approached the contest listed as questionable, but the 2023 sixth-rounder will be back in action following a one-game absence due to a concussion. Meanwhile, fellow WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) will remain sidelined Sunday, a context that could lead to Douglas seeing an increased role in the 1-5 Patriots' passing attack versus Buffalo.

    Analysis: Douglas, who is officially listed as questionable, should be cleared when New England releases its inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) also listed as questionable but trending in the wrong direction for the Week 7 contest, Douglas could have a path to expanded work on offense.

    Douglas (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion), though given that the duo practiced all week, there's a decent chance both will be available for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, pending clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol. Through five games, Douglas -- who was inactive Week 6 -- has caught 10 of his 17 targets for 143 yards, a rate of production that has limited his fantasy utility to deeper formats. That said, it wouldn't be too surprising to see the 2023 sixth-rounder's profile in…read more

    Analysis: New England won't release its first Week 7 practice report until Wednesday, but Douglas' involvement in Tuesday's session suggests that he's made at least some progress through the NFL's concussion protocol. While Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster sat out the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Raiders while recovering from their head injuries, Tyquan Thornton filled in as the team's No. 3 receiver behind DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne.

    Douglas (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) also ruled out for the contest, the Patriots' top available wideouts Sunday will be DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne, with Kayshon Boutte and the versatile Ty Montgomery also on hand. Additionally, Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) could be activated from injured reserve this week, while Malik Cunningham and/or Jalen Reagor are potential Week 6 practice-squad elevations. Douglas will thus target a potential return to action Oct. 22 against the Bills.

    Douglas (concussion) was not spotted at Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Douglas appears to be missing his third straight practice of the week, which makes it seem unlikely that he will clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Raiders. The same is true of JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion), so New England's receiving corps could be especially thin in Las Vegas.

    Douglas (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for JuJu Smith-Schuster, with both WRs in the NFL's concussion protocol after having also missed Wednesday's session. The duo's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders thus is cloudy, and if neither gains clearance ahead of Week 6 action, the Patriots' WR corps would feature DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte and the versatile Ty Montgomery, with Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) a candidate to be activated from injured reserve.

    Analysis: Douglas was removed from this past Sunday's 34-0 loss to the Saints with what the Patriots labeled as a head injury, but the team's first Week 6 practice report clarifies that the rookie receiver is dealing with a concussion. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol within the next few days in order to play Sunday in Las Vegas.

    Douglas (head) has been ruled out for a return to the second half of Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Douglas was removed from the game in the second quarter after sustaining a head injury, and though he's now been ruled out, the Patriots haven't confirmed that he suffered a concussion. Regardless, the rookie receiver's absence for the rest of the day won't help the Patriots' hopes of digging out a 21-0 halftime deficit. Douglas finishes the Week 5 contest with one catch for 24 yards on two targets.

As the No. 4 option in the Patriots' WR pecking order, Douglas is off the fantasy radar, but that could change down the road if the 2023 sixth-rounder garners added playing time as the season rolls along.

    Douglas logged 33 of a possible 80 snaps on offense in Sunday's season-opening 25-20 loss to the Eagles en route to catching four of his seven targets for 40 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Both Douglas and fellow rookie Kayshon Boutte saw added snaps Week 1 with DeVante Parker (knee) inactive. Once their veteran counterpart is back in action, Douglas' target volume could take a hit, but the 2023 sixth-rounder nonetheless should remain a factor on a weekly basis to some degree while working in a New England WR corps that also features Kendrick Bourne and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

  • Cleared for opener

    Douglas (shoulder) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report released Wednesday.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick was one of New England's summer standouts and is now expected to begin the regular season somewhere between third and fifth in the pecking order at wide receiver. Even if he's a backup initially, Douglas could get his shot in a top-three role soon enough, given that New England's trio of veteran wideouts -- JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne -- is neither formidable nor reliable.

    Douglas (shoulder) was spotted wearing a red non-contact jersey during Sunday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the issue remains unclear, but Reiss speculates that the rookie wideout is dealing with a minor shoulder injury that occurred when he was tackled during New England's second preseason game, which was versus Green Bay. Douglas, a sixth-round pick, has been a "pleasant training camp surprise," per Chad Graff of The Athletic, and he could carve out a role in the Patriots' pass-catching corps before long.

    Analysis: Chad Graff of The Athletic reports that the rookie sixth-round pick has been New England's "most pleasant training camp surprise" and could finish the season as the team's No. 3 receiver. Douglas may start off only fourth or fifth on the depth chart, but his roster spot at least appears safe as the Patriots begin preparations for Week 1 against Philadelphia.

    In his latest projection, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site suggests that Douglas is a good bet to make the team's Initial 53-man roster.

    Analysis: Per Lazar, Douglas, whom the Patriots list at 5-foot-8, 192 pounds, displays quickness and burst as a route runner that the team's other receivers do not. As things stand, the 2023 sixth-rounder is competing with Kayshon Boutte, Tre Nixon and Thyrick Pitts for what could be the team's final WR spot behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

    Douglas has been one of the early standouts of Patriots training camp, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick has seen daily work with the first-team offense, mostly out of the slot, with teammate Jabrill Peppers noting Monday that Douglas is "tough as nails" and shows surprising "physicality" for an undersized wide receiver. To that end, the Patriots optimistically list Douglas at 5-foot-8 and 192 pounds, though he was a mere 170 just five months ago when he ran a 4.44-second 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. Regardless of his actual weight, Douglas seems to be…read more
