Patriots’ Kendrick Bourne gets positive update after undergoing surgery on torn ACL
Kendrick Bourne suffered a torn ACL back in Week 8, and he is currently rehabbing the injury after recently undergoing surgery
The New England Patriots are in the middle of one of the most disappointing seasons in their storied history, and while there haven’t been many bright spots this season, one of them was surely the reemergence of Kendrick Bourne at wide receiver. Of course, that didn’t last very long, as Bourne tore his ACL in the Pats Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins, ending his season prematurely.
Bourne had been New England’s best wide receiver (37 REC, 406 YDS, 4 TD) prior to his injury, and it’s no surprise they have struggled mightily in his absence. The good news here is that Bourne finally underwent surgery on his injury on Wednesday, and has begun working on rehabbing the injury in Los Angeles as he turns his attention to the 2024 season.
This is great news for Kendrick Bourne and Patriots fans, although it should be noted that he may not be with the team next season. Bourne’s contract is up after this season, and given the turmoil surrounding New England currently, it remains to be seen whether or not they would consider re-signing Bourne. It’s also worth noting that Bourne spent much of the 2022 season in the doghouse after a breakout 2021 campaign for reasons we still don’t fully understand.
