Nothing has gone right for the New England Patriots this season. So in a way, it was no surprise when the news dropped on Monday that wide receiver Kendrick Bourne would miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
Such is the Patriots’ luck in 2023.
First and foremost, this flat out stinks for Bourne, who has come a long ways from the days in Matt Patricia’s doghouse. Under offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, we were witnessing a reawakening of the explosive playmaker that emerged in 2021.
As for the team, there really isn’t anyone on the roster capable of replacing the production Bourne gave the Patriots.
