  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: One catch versus Jaguars

    Bourne was on the field for 37 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    In his third game since being activated from the PUP list in advance of Week 5 action, Bourne caught one of his two targets for 14 yards. It's possible that as the wideout further distances himself from the knee injury that previously sidelined him, Bourne could see his volume increase as the season progresses, but until that happens, he's off the fantasy radar.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Two catches versus Houston

    Bourne caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

    Per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, Bourne -- who was activated from the PUP list ahead of Week 5 action -- said last week that it would take a couple of weeks for him to get back to 100 percent as he bounces back from a knee injury, with the wideout's snap count increasing from 16 snaps in his first game back to 34 snaps Sunday. With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise us to see Bourne's playing time continue to rise Week 7 against the Jaguars, but for the time being he's a risky fantasy lineup option.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Active versus Texans

    Bourne (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    After being activated from the PUP list ahead of Week 5 action, Bourne made his season debut in the Patriots' loss to the Dolphins last weekend, en route to logging 16 of 60 snaps on offense while catching his lone target for six yards. In his second game back from a major knee injury that he suffered Oct. 29, 2023, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start. However, until the veteran wideout re-establishes a steady role in New England's offense, he'll continue to profile as a speculative fantasy option.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Expects to play

    Bourne (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is expected to play, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bourne played just 27 percent of the team's snaps in his 2024 debut last week after missing the first four games following the 2023 October ACL tear. Expect the veteran wide receiver to be more involved in the gameplan this week as the Patriots debut the 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Drake Maye, in his first professional start.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Questionable for Sunday

    Bourne (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Given that Bourne was on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4 as he bounced back from a knee injury he sustained Oct. 29, 2023, it's not surprising that the Patriots are easing the wideout back into the mix. We'd expect Bourne to be available to face Houston on Sunday, with confirmation of his status set to arrive once New England's inactives are known ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. After logging a 27 percent snap share in his season debut versus Miami in Week 5, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start, but until the veteran pass catcher gets a full and productive game in, he's a speculative fantasy option.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Still limited at practice

    Bourne (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Bourne also was limited Wednesday, but chances are his limitations are maintenance-related rather than indicative of any setbacks with the knee injury that kept him on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout approaches Sunday's game against the Texans with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 6 action.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Limited practice Wednesday

    Bourne (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    After being activated from the PUP list Saturday, Bourne made his season debut in the Patriots' Week 5 loss to the Dolphins a day later, playing 16 of 60 snaps on offense while reeling in his lone target for a six-yard receptions. With no reported setbacks with his surgically repaired knee coming out of the game, Bourne's limitations Wednesday are most likely maintenance-related. Assuming that's the case, the wideout should be available against the Texans on Sunday, when he'll likely see his snap share tick up as rookie quarterback Drake Maye makes his first NFL start.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Quiet season debut Sunday

    Bourne brought in his only target for six yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout made his return to the field following his late-October 2023 ACL tear, but he had a minimal role overall in his taste of game action. Given the Patriots' dearth of reliable pass-catching options, Bourne, who had a 37-406-4 line in eight regular-season games before suffering his injury last season, should quickly see his role in the air attack expand as he develops chemistry with both Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Active versus Dolphins

    Bourne (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Bourne -- who came off the PUP list Saturday -- is thus set to make his first game appearance since tearing his right ACL on Oct. 29, 2023. In his return to the lineup, it's possible that Bourne will be eased back into the mix, but either way, his presence should provide a needed boost to a New England offense that ranks 31st in the league in scoring (13.0 points per game), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. With K.J. Osborn (shoulder) inactive versus Miami, Bourne has an immediate opportunity to step into a key role alongside fellow WRs Ja'Lynn Polk and DeMario Douglas, though for now he profiles as a speculative fantasy option until he gets a full and productive outing in.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: In line for season debut

    Bourne (knee), who was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game but is expected to play, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bourne was expected to make his season debut Sunday after practicing in limited fashion all week. He'll join a beleaguered Patriots passing attack that has yet to surpass 170 passing yards in any of the four contests this campaign. The veteran receiver quietly had developed into a featured pass catcher last season in a similarly dire passing offense, recording at least two catches in all eight games before going down with a season-ending ACL tear, but it's hard to imagine Bourne significantly turning around a New England offense that ranks dead last in total passing yards in 2024.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Questionable for Sunday

    Bourne (knee), who remains on the reserve/PUP list, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Since the Patriots opened his 21-day window to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Bourne has been limited in practice as he continues his recovery from the right ACL tear that he sustained Week 8 of last season. Coach Jerod Mayo told Mark Daniels of MassLive.com on Friday that Bourne has displayed "that he's healthy" this week, but the Patriots also are determining whether the wide receiver will take one of the three open spots on their active roster, according to Daniels. The team will need to make such a decision by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest, so clarity on that front will become known in due time.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Feels good after first practice

    Bourne noted Thursday that he "feels good" and that his knee has responded well to his return to practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Per Lazar, Bourne, who was limited in his return to practice Wednesday, is on a snap count for the time being. The wideout remains on the reserve/PUP list, and it's unclear at this stage if he'll be activated ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. Once Bourne returns to the mix, however, he'll have a chance to reclaim a key role in a New England WR corps currently led by DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk and K.J. Osborn (shoulder).

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Returning to practice

    Bourne (knee) is slated to practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Bourne, who remains on the PUP list, will thus have his 21-day practice window opened up as the Patriots kick off Week 5 prep. In terms of the wideout's availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Jerod Mayo said that the possibility of Bourne playing this weekend isn't unrealistic, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Bourne is nearing the finish line of his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee, an injury he sustained last October.
