The New England Patriots are set to activate wide receiver Kendrick Bourne off the physically unable to perform list, allowing him to return to action against the Miami Dolphins. Bourne, who suffered a torn ACL last season, is expected to provide a much-needed boost to a struggling Patriots offense that ranks last in the league in receiving stats. His return comes at a crucial time as the team looks to improve its performance.

• Kendrick Bourne's return is anticipated to energize the Patriots' offense.
