Kendrick Bourne’s blunt response for lack of targets in training camp

New England Patriots wideout Kendrick Bourne has gone from being the second-leading receiver on the roster to few targets and catches in training camp.

In a light practice on Monday, he didn’t even catch a single pass from quarterback Mac Jones. That doesn’t exactly bode well with the team in the second week of preseason and the regular season opener right around the corner.

Bourne finished the 2021 season with 55 receptions for 800 yards and was believed to be the team’s best big-play option in a paper-thin receivers room. But that version of the 27-year-old has been nowhere to be found on the practice field with this year’s roster.
