Kendrick Bourne Has Surgery, Could Be Ready For Training Camp Next Year

12 months ago

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) had successful surgery to fix his torn right ACL on Wednesday, and it was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Bourne is rehabbing in the same facility as New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It's believed that he could recover in time for the start of training camp next summer. The 28-year-old was the Patriots' leading receiver at the time of his season-ending injury in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Bourne finishes his 2023 campaign with 37 receptions for 406 yards and four touchdowns on 55 targets. In his absence the rest of the way, rookie Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster should continue to operate as the team's top two wideouts. Bourne will be an unrestricted free agent in March of 2024.
