Tom Pelissero reports that the Patriots are activating WR Kendrick Bourne from the physically unable-to-perform list.
Bourne, 29, signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Washington in 2017. He signed a three-year, $1.66 million deal and made the final roster each of his first three seasons in the league.
The 49ers placed a second-round tender on Bourne as a restricted free agent at $3.27 million for the 2020 season.
Bourne then became an unrestricted free agent in 2021 before signing a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Patriots. He finished out the final year of that deal and made $5.5 million in 2023.
New England re-signed him to a three-year contract worth up to $33 million this past March.
In 2023, Bourne appeared in eight games for the Patriots and caught 37 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns.
