Patriots Week 10 Injury Report: 7 Absent From Practice, 3 Already Ruled Out

Three players ruled out

TreVeyon Henderson, Ben Brown and Carlton Davis were ruled out and will not travel with the team. None was seen at practice. Henderson has missed the past two games after being hospitalized with neurological issues. Brown and Davis injured their knees in the Week 9 loss to Green Bay and did not return; Davis briefly appeared in the locker room but did not practice.

Running backs may step up

With Henderson unavailable and Rhamondre Stevenson also having left last week’s game with a knee injury, Kiner and Larison could lead the Patriots’ running game against Detroit. Neither has carried a heavy workload this season.

Kiner has more regular-season experience this year, while Larison recently joined from the practice squad. The team may also elevate Terrell Jennings for added depth.

Brown and Gilliam return

A.J. Brown returned to practice after missing the previous two weeks with various injuries. Before the session, Mike Vrabel said Brown would travel to Germany, while noting that some traveling players might not play.

Brown worked with position coach Todd Downing on a tennis-ball drill and was first among the receivers in positional drills. If active, he would appear in his fourth game this year.

Reggie Gilliam also practiced, beginning a 21-day window for activation from injured reserve. The Patriots released rookie tight end Tanner Arkin from the 53-man roster, opening a spot that could allow Gilliam to be elevated for Sunday.

Other potential lineup changes

If Charles Woods cannot play, rookies Karon Prunty and Channing Canada could be active again. Both took on larger roles against the Packers. Detroit’s injury report was described as much shorter. The Lions were not scheduled to fly to Munich until later in the week.
