The Patriots hope to have Bourne (illness) available for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.
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.
