Kendrick Bourne has been one of the few bright spots on a Patriots offense marred by uneven execution and a dearth of proven playmakers.
But New England’s go-to receiver may not be back on the gridiron for an extended stretch after suffering a knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Miami Dolphins.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bourne will have an MRI on Monday in order to determine the severity of the injury, which he suffered during the fourth quarter of New England’s 31-17 defeat.
Rapoport added that the “hope” from the Patriots’ camp is that it’s just an MCL injury, based on the initial diagnosis.
