Andrew Callahan reports that Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is expected to play on Sunday against the Bills.
The team has also placed DL Deatrich Wise on the COVID-19 list and elevated DT Daniel Ekuale, WR Kristian Wilkerson, and DB D’Angelo Ross for gameday.
Bourne, 26, 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 this past offseason before signing a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Patriots.
In 2021, Bourne appeared in 14 games for the Patriots and caught 45 passes for 667 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
