From the article

Boutte has been quiet the last two days. Maybe that is a result of the practice script, or maybe of the tide turning in the receiver room. Regardless, others have taken center stage since the introduction of full pads on Thursday.

Boutte's quiet stretch in full-pad practices raises questions about receiver room pecking order.

Boutte was the most notable pass catcher during the ramp-up period but has been quiet the last two days of practice; the source notes this may be due to practice script or a shift in the receiver room hierarchy, with others taking center stage since full pads were introduced on Thursday.
