Kendrick Bourne, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, is feeling positive about his preparedness for Week 1 of the 2024 season after recovering from a torn ACL ahead of schedule. Bourne, who is poised to enter free agency, shared his interest in staying with the Patriots in an interview on NFL Network’s Total Access with Patrick Claybon.
Bourne showed the major impact that the Patriots organization has had on his career and life, despite the fact that former head coach Bill Belichick has left the team. He appreciated the fresh start and vitality that the club received from the new head coach, Jerod Mayo, and he anticipated that the following season would bring about a favorable shift and improvement.
“My plan is to play Game 1, and I believe I’m going to be ready,” Bourne stated confidently, highlighting his progress and commitment to regaining strength. The wide receiver anticipates participating in spring workouts and being a “full-go” for training camp.
Kendrick Bourne Eyes Patriots Return
Bourne, who played the first four seasons of his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Patriots in 2021, had a standout season in 2021, recording career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. Despite missing eight games last season due to the ACL injury, Bourne remained a significant contributor to the Patriots’ receiving corps.
While expressing his desire to return to Foxborough, Bourne acknowledged the uncertainty of free agency and the negotiation process. As he awaits the unfolding of contract discussions, the 28-year-old wide receiver remains excited about the potential continuation of his journey with the Patriots.
Patriots fans can expect a “newfound energy” and a different vibe under Mayo’s leadership, according to Bourne. With optimism about his recovery and a potential return to the Patriots, Bourne looks forward to contributing to the team’s success in the 2024 season.
