Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne had to leave Sunday’s 38-15 win over the Cleveland Browns after just four offensive snaps. But a new report suggests that it’s not a major problem.

According to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald on

#Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne is dealing with turf toe that “as of now doesn’t seem that serious,” per source.

The injury limited Bourne to 4 offensive snaps in yesterday’s win at Cleveland, where he tried to work through it on the sideline. @PhilAPerry first.

— Andrew Callahan (@_AndrewCallahan) October 17, 2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter, Bourne’s reported toe injury “as of now doesn’t seem that serious.” The Bourne injury came after Nelson Agholor was out with a hamstring issue.

In Bourne’s absence, rookie receiver Tyquan Thornton saw an increased snap count – 40 total, 57 percent – and made the most of them. Thornton finished with seven total touches for 53 yards and two touchdowns, one receiving and one rushing.

Jakobi Meyers led all Patriots wide receivers with 57 offensive snaps, followed by DeVante Parker (55).

It won’t be clear whether the injury creeps into Week 7 until the Patriots practice on Wednesday. You can be sure that Bill Belichick will be asked about the Pats’ various injury situations next time he speaks, and he will say as little as possible about all of them.

The biggest injury questions on the team are for quarterback Mac Jones (high-ankle sprain) and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee). In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated on the latest Patriots injury news as it comes in.
