NFL free agency: Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne agrees to a three-year deal with New England

Kendrick Bourne (NFL)

The Patriots will be without safety Jabrill Peppers for their game against the Dolphins on Sunday, but wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will be in the lineup for the first time this season.

Bourne was cleared to return from the physically unable to perform list this week, and Tom Pelissero from NFL Media reports that he will be activated in time for the game against Miami.

Bourne tore his ACL last season, and his return will strengthen the receiving group as the Patriots aim for their second win of the season. In 2023, he had 37 catches for 406 yards and four touchdowns in eight games.

This season, Demario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk, and K.J. Osborn have been the most targeted receivers by Patriots quarterbacks.
