Healthy after early exit Agholor (undisclosed) is practicing Thursday, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.

Impact His early exit from Wednesday's practice may have been related to the heat. Agholor is back on the field Thursday, presumably occupying his usual role with the first-team offense. He and Jakobi Meyers are easily the best bets to see regular targets among Patriots wide receivers, though overall passing-game volume in New England could be lacking again, especially if Cam Newton wins the starting QB job.

Exits Wednesday's practice Agholor (undisclosed) left Wednesday's practice early, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact The report notes that with temperatures approaching 90 degrees Wednesday, it's possible Agholor's departure (as well as that of OT Isaiah Wynn ) was heat-related. Thursday's practice should provided added context regarding Agholor's status as the Patriots approach Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants.

Gets starter's treatment Agholor "got the starting wideout treatment" while logging 14 snaps in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

Impact Meanwhile, Jakobi Meyers was out there for 15 snaps and Kendrick Bourne logged 31. Per Cox, "those three look like sure bets to be the Patriots' top receivers this season." In his projected role as a starter in the team's offense, Agholor is in a good position to earn steady snaps and a share of targets this coming season. While the team's attack could well feature a run-heavy approach and plenty of two-TE sets, Agholor's utility as a deep threat gives him a degree of weekly fantasy upside to accompany a modest floor, given that steady volume could be an issue for the team's key wide receivers.

Sitting out Thursday Agholor (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against Washington, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

Impact The Patriots held Agholor out of Sunday's practice due to an unknown injury, and while he got back on the field Monday he barely participated in the team portion of drills. Consequently, the team is being cautious with the offseason addition, likely with his health for Week 1 the primary motivator. After Thursday, Agholor will have two more chances to play in an exhibition before the season opener.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not much work in return to practice Agholor (undisclosed) was limited in practice Monday, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

Impact Agholor got the day off Sunday due to an unknown injury, but upon his return one day later he was "virtually invisible in team periods," per Callahan. With just three days to go before the Patriots' preseason opener Thursday against Washington, Agholor doesn't seem like a candidate to suit up, with his health for Week 1 in mind. His absence opens up reps for the likes of Kendrick Bourne and N'Keal Harry alongside starter Jakobi Meyers.

Rejoins practice Agholor (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Agholor was held out Sunday but apparently isn't dealing with a serious injury. He and Jakobi Meyers look like the top wideouts in New England, with Kendrick Bourne and N'Keal Harry also competing for snaps.

Absent from practice Agholor (undisclosed) didn't practice Sunday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact This marks the first training camp absence for Agholor, who is projected to start for the Patriots after having signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the team this offseason. Also in the mix to be key cogs in the New England wide receiving corps in 2021 are Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and possibly N'Keal Harry, who's been impressive so far this summer.
