FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Follow-up tests Monday revealed that New England Patriots leading receiver Kendrick Bourne tore his right ACL, according to a source.

The injury ends Bourne's seventh season in the NFL, which was on pace to be his best, as he faces a recovery that a source estimates in the six- to eight-month range.

Bourne was injured on the first play of the fourth quarter in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins, when he caught a pass and was tackled along the right sideline by cornerback Eli Apple.
