Ten games into the 2025 season, the New England Patriots have doubled their win total from 2024. Last season, the Patriots finished 4-13. Heading into Week 11, New England will be 8-2 in 2025.
Second-year pro Drake May is playing at an MVP level, and the team has more stability with Mike Vrabel as head coach. On Thursday Night Football in Week 11, the Patriots are at home to take on the 2-7 New York Jets. The team will be without key players in attack. Ramondre Stevenson and Kayson Bote are unavailable due to injury.

To start 2025, Ramondre Stevenson has been the Patriots’ starting running back. He missed two straight games for New England with a toe injury. NFL insiders have already said the 27-year-old will be out TNF in Week 11 versus the Jets. This will be the third straight game the Patriots have missed. While Stevenson was out, rookie RB Trevion Henderson was the starter. The second-round pick had a breakout performance in Week 10 versus the Buccaneers.
Henderson had 14 carries for 147 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. His previous high was 75 yards in Week 8. TreVeyon Henderson appears to be the RB1 of the future for the Patriots. However, NFL insiders report that the team will turn to veteran Ramondre Stevenson when he is healthy. New England can second guess its decision if Henderson has another strong start in a TNF matchup against the Jets.

Additionally, the Patriots will be without third-year WR Kayson Boutte in Week 11. He missed his first game of the 2025 season in Week 10 with a hamstring injury. Butte started 13 games for the Patriots in 2024 and appeared in 15 games. The former sixth-round pick finished the year with 43 catches for 589 yards and three touchdowns. Nine games into the 2025 season, Kayson Boutte has 23 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns.
The 23-year-old is off to a more efficient start in 2025. He’s been a deep threat for Drake Maye, who is 13-17 on passes that travel more than 20 yards through the air. Kayson Boutte has caught more than a few of those deep passes. Unfortunately, Butte will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury in Week 11. New England still has Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams at their disposal.
