Second-year wideout leads list of New England Patriots inactives in Week 2 vs. Seahawks image

The New England Patriots are set to play their second game of their 2024 campaign on Sunday afternoon, as they'll host the Seattle Seahawks at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts for their home opener.

Ahead of the matchup, New England listed five players as inactive, including wide receiver Kayshon Boutte.

Joining Boutte on this list are guard Sidy Sow, linebacker Curtis Jacobs, offensive tackle Demontrey Jacobs and quarterback Joe Milton III (emergency third quarterback).

Sow was ruled out on Friday, so his inclusion on the list isn't surprising. Boutte was active last week, but it appears he and rookie wideout Javon Baker may be switching off as the last receiver on the depth chart on gamedays.

New England's offensive line is a bit thin for this one, as Chukwuma Okorafor left the team on Saturday, Sow and Jacobs are inactive and Cole Strange is on the reserve/PUP.

They'll have Vederian Lowe, Michael Jordan, David Andrews, Layden Robinson and Mike Onwenu likely starting from left to right. Nick Leverett, Caedan Wallace and Zach Thomas are the three healthy, active backups.

New England and Seattle kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX.
