Patriots make big decision, but it isn't starting Drake Maye

The New England Patriots are entering a new chapter in franchise history, with Drake May on the quarterback depth chart. However, the Pats' offense will be missing one of its most important weapons during the early goings of the 2024 NFL season, with wide receiver Kendrick Bourne reportedly starting the campaign on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

“#Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (ACL) is starting the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, making him ineligible for the first four games, per sources.”

Bourne's 2023 season was cut short by a devastating lower-body injury.
