The New England Patriots have designated multiple players as questionable for their upcoming matchup against the Detroit Lions in Madrid on Sunday, including wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back Rhamondre Stevenson.
Brown, who is dealing with ankle and knee issues, was limited in all three of the team's practice reports this week. Stevenson, who has a knee injury, was limited on Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday's session entirely.
Other players listed as questionable include safety Kevin Byard (chest), fullback Reggie Gilliam (knee), tight end Cameron Latu (back), offensive lineman Walter Rouse (concussion protocol), offensive lineman Greg Van Roten (hamstring), and cornerback Charles Woods (hamstring).
On a positive note, offensive tackle Morgan Moses (foot), tight end Hunter Henry (foot), and quarterback Drake Maye (right shoulder) have been removed from the injury report and are expected to play.
Three players were previously ruled out and did not make the trip to Europe: offensive lineman Ben Brown (knee), cornerback Carlton Davis (knee), and running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness).
Key Analysis
The Patriots' injury report presents a mixed bag as they prepare for their international game. The questionable statuses of Brown and Stevenson are particularly concerning, given their importance to the offense. However, the return of Maye, Henry, and Moses provides a significant boost. The team will need to monitor these players closely leading up to kickoff in Madrid.
