Sunday's performance proved lucrative for Patriots receiver Kendrick Bourne - The Boston Globe In the rout of the Jaguars, Bourne hit two of his contract incentives — 50 receptions and 700 receiving yards — each worth $250,000.
Patriots' Kendrick Bourne Shares Update After Big Hit In Win Over Jags Patriots receiver Kendrick Bourne laughed off the bone-rattling hit he absorbed Sunday from Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Jamir Jones.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • NESN.COM
Team-high yardage total Bourne brought five of six targets for 76 yards and rushed twice for 17 yards in the Patriots' 50-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Impact The veteran led the Patriots in receiving yardage while posting his best total in that category since Week 10. Bourne also logged multiple rush attempts for the second time in the last three games, and his role as a rusher has expanded some in the second half of the season. Bourne needs three receptions in the Week 18 clash against the Dolphins to eclipse the career-best 49 he recorded in 2020 with the 49ers.

What we learned from Kendrick Bourne's Reddit AMA The Patriots receiver spent his Tuesday answering all kinds of questions on Reddit. Here's what we learned.
DECEMBER 30, 2021 • PATRIOTS.COM
Held to two catches by Bills Bourne caught two of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 33-21 loss to Buffalo.
Impact Damien Harris scored all three of New England's touchdowns on the ground as the passing game struggled mightily. Case in point, Bourne finished second on the team in receiving yards and tied for second in catches, trailing only Jakobi Meyers, who had six catches for 59 yards. Since his two-touchdown outburst in Week 12 against the Titans, Bourne has mustered just five catches for 77 yards in three subsequent appearances. Perhaps a Week 17 visit from the Jaguars will help Bourne get back on track.

Activated from COVID list Bourne has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Given that Nelson Agholor (concussion) has been ruled out for the contest, look for Jakobi Meyers and Bourne to head the Patriots' Week 16 wideout corps, with N'Keal Harry (hip/questionable) a candidate for added work, if active. The last time New England and Buffalo played each other (back in Week 13), windy conditions led to Bourne not seeing any of QB Mac Jones' three passing targets. This time around, Bourne -- who caught all three of his targets for 44 yards and ran twice for 19 yards in last weekend's loss to the Colts -- is a candidate to see enough touches to help out those looking for Week 16 wideout help.

Clears protocols, per report Bourne has reportedly cleared COVID-19 protocols and is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, according to Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald.
Impact We'll wait confirmation from the Patriots once the team's Saturday transactions are posted, but with Nelson Agholor (concussion) ruled out for the contest, look for Jakobi Meyers and Bourne -- if available -- to head the team's Week 16 wideout corps.
DECEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Could play this week The Patriots hope to have Bourne (illness) available for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.
Impact The wideout reportedly is vaccinated and thus stands a chance to be removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list this weekend. Bourne could have a larger-than-usual role if he plays, with Nelson Agholor (head) ruled out and N'Keal Harry (hip) listed as questionable. Harry does appear on track to play, and could be looking at a near-every-down role if both Agholor and Bourne are out.

Could play this week Bourne still has a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Bills after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list this Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Bourne is vaccinated, and the timing of his placement on the COVID list gives him 5-6 days to test negative on back-to-back days. It's still probably no better than 50/50, and the Pats also have other issues at wide receiver with Nelson Agholor (head) and N'Keal Harry (head) both getting banged up during Saturday's loss to Indianapolis.

Lands on COVID list Bourne (undisclosed) has been placed on the reserve/COVID 19 list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Nelson Agholor (head) having suffered a head injury during Saturday's game against the Colts, N'Keal Harry (undisclosed) possibly banged up and Bourne now on the reserve/COVID 19 list, the Patriots' top available WR options who are free of any Week 16 availability concerns are Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski.

No targets in windy win Bourne was not targeted during Monday's 14-10 win over the Bills. He did have one carry for three yards.
Impact Bourne posted a two-touchdown, 61-yard performance against the Titans prior to being shut out against Buffalo, a game which was played in extremely windy conditions and saw the Patriots offense lean on the running game almost every snap. In fact, quarterback Mac Jones attempted just three passes in the divisional win. After the team's Week 14 bye, Bourne will get a chance to bounce back on the road in Indianapolis.
