Who is out and who is questionable

Davis has a knee injury, Ben Brown has a knee injury and Henderson has an illness.[2] None of the three practiced Friday.[2]

A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) and Stevenson (knee) were limited in practice Friday.[2] Also questionable are safety Kevin Byard III (chest), tight end Cameron Latu (back), offensive lineman Walter Rouse (concussion protocol) and safety Brenden Schooler (hamstring).[2] Fullback Reggie Gilliam (knee), lineman Greg Van Roten (hamstring) and cornerback Charles Woods (hamstring) complete the list.[2]

Quarterback Drake Maye (right shoulder) was a full participant Friday and received no game status.[2] Tight end Hunter Henry (foot) and right tackle Morgan Moses (foot) also carried no game status.[2]

A.J. Brown and the backfield

A.J. Brown sat out the previous two games with a knee injury.[1] He has played in three of nine games this season, with nine catches for 101 yards.[1] The Patriots traded a 2028 first-round pick to acquire him this offseason.[1]

Stevenson, the team’s leading rusher with 399 yards on 102 carries, was limited in both practices in Munich.[1][3] Early reports had indicated he would miss games with the knee injury.[1] If Stevenson cannot play, Corey Kiner is expected to handle most early-down carries.[1] Kiner is averaging 4.9 yards per rush.[1]

The Patriots could also activate Gilliam and Van Roten from injured reserve on Saturday.[1] New England has used five of its eight return designations this season.[1]

The Lions’ injury report

Detroit ruled out center Cade Mays (ankle), safety Kerby Joseph (knee) and cornerback DJ Reed (hip).[2] Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) and running back Sione Vaki (ankle) are questionable.[2] Quarterback Jared Goff (chest) was a full participant and received no game status.[2]

The Patriots lead the all-time series 8-5 and won the last meeting 29-0 in 2022 at Gillette Stadium.[3] New England’s bye follows the Munich game.[1]
