Smith-Schuster (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Demario Douglas (concussion) is also sidelined for the Week 6, leaving DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte and the versatile Ty Montgomery as the team's available options at receiver currently on the 53-man roster. Additionally, Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) is a candidate to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game, while Malik Cunningham and/or Jalen Reagor are potential practice-squad elevations. Smith-Schuster will now target a potential return to action Oct. 22 against the Bills.
