Should be ready for training camp

Bourne (knee) underwent surgery to repair his right ACL on Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in the coming offseason, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Bourne, who landed on injured reserve in late October, will miss the rest of the 2023 campaign but is already on the road to recovery. He tallied a 37-406-4 receiving line on 55 targets across the first eight games of the season, while operating as the Patriots' most productive wideout. The 28-year-old is on track to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, but New England could have incentive to re-sign him, assuming his recovery goes smoothly.
