The Patriots are set to get a notable offensive contributor back ahead of their tilt against the Chiefs.
Demario Douglas cleared the concussion protocol and is expected to play on Sunday.
“We’ll see how it goes today, but assuming no setbacks he should be available,” Bill Belichick told reporters of Douglas on Friday.
The rookie wide receiver has been one of the very few bright spots for a Patriots offense that ranks 28th in yards and last in scoring. Douglas has 36 receptions for 410 yards, leading the team in targets and receiving yards. He’s also second on the team in receptions.
