Expect another shakeup at the Patriots’ wide receiver position this week.
Following his benching against the Bears last week, Kendrick Bourne is set to receive snaps versus the Rams Sunday.
Bourne saw zero snaps despite being active because New England wanted to “prioritize playing time for young players,” according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn, and Javon Baker saw playing time over Bourne in Week 10.
Head coach Jerod Mayo confirmed that he anticipates the veteran WR will return to the field as the Patriots seek their fourth win of the season.
