ImpactTurf toe can cause multi-week absences for players, but Bourne's case "doesn't seem that serious," so he might be able to keep playing through it. The wide receiver played just four snaps Week 6 against the Browns before exiting the game, though he remained on the sideline with his teammates.

Kevin Harris - Logs three carries in season debutHarris carried three times for five yards in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns.
ImpactThe 2022 sixth-rounder suited up Sunday, with Damien Harris (hamstring) out, logging 12 snaps behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson (60 snaps), while fellow rookie Pierre Strong (one carry) saw action on four snaps. For now, Kevin Harris is off the fantasy radar, but if at any point the Patriots are without both Stevenson and Damien Harris, he could be pressed into an expanded early-down role.
