An already thin Patriots receiving corps was stretched even thinner on Sunday.

Wide receiver N’Keal Harry is out for the remainder of Sunday’s game due to a head injury. On the final play of the first quarter, Cam Newton threw Harry a pass over the middle to try and pick up a first down on third and 8.

Harry dropped the ball when 49ers cornerback Tarvarius Moore hit him, forcing fourth down. The Patriots ended up with a field goal on the possession.

Harry went back to the locker room after being evaluated in the blue tent on the Patriots’ sideline. He will not return.
