Saturday was a difficult day for the New England Patriots, and several players did not have a stellar opener, including wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
He was on the field for only two snaps in the 20-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins, which ended in him hauling in one catch for 41 yards. It was a greatly reduced role, as the wide receiver was one of the team’s top pass-catchers last season. He caught 70 passes for 800 yards and five touchdowns last year.
