On Monday, it was announced that New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne would be out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
This is a big hit to the team’s wide receiver room, and it takes away their most productive playmaker at the position.
Bourne was on his way to having another solid year. He had three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins on Sunday. He had 37 catches for 406 yards and four touchdowns on the year. Now, the Patriots must look to replace his production in what is an already thin wide receiver room.
Patriots Twitter was saddened by the news, as the injury hits keep coming for New England.
Kendrick Bourne
Marcus Jones
Christian Gonzalez
All out for the season😪
Judon out until December— LENNO𝕏 (@LennoxProd_) October 30, 2023

The Patriots are bad, let’s not get it twisted, but they’ve had wild injury luck.
Christian Gonzalez, Matthew Judon, Marcus Jones and Kendrick Bourne are all down for the season. That’s their best rookie, offensive player and defensive player — plus an All-Pro return specialist.

Season was already a lost cause. Now we lose Kendrick Bourne, our most exciting and productive receiver. Unbelievable man.

Kendrick Bourne with a torn ACL is the final nail in coffin.
Season is over. Time to sell, sell, sell!
Demario Douglas is now WR1.
Kayshon Boutte needs to get on the field.Time to rebuild.

Kendrick Bourne too wow
— Tony Cusate (@TCus2408) October 30, 2023
Kendrick Bourne is the team's leader in snaps, targets, and receptions at wide receiver. He is undoubtedly their WR1.

Two season-ending injuries in one day: Kendrick Bourne and now Kirk… so sad yo see.
— Braijon Williams (@B_Willz14) October 30, 2023
The Patriots mediocre offense even lost their best player for the season (Kendrick Bourne), and still I have not confidence that they won’t make Mac Jones look like Tom Brady Jr next Sunday 🤦🏽♂️
