Phil Perry (@PhilAPerry): Lengthy injury report for the Patriots. Carlton Davis, TreVeyon Henderson and Ben Brown have been ruled out. Rhamondre Stevenson didn’t practice today but his status for Sunday’s game remains up in the air.
The Patriots also ruled out cornerback Carlton Davis III and guard/center Ben Brown, both with knee injuries, before leaving for Germany on Wednesday night.
Henderson, listed with an illness, will miss his third straight game. He revealed last week that he had spent several days in the hospital with unexplained neurological symptoms that affected his strength and coordination, and he has not practiced since landing on the injury report Oct. 29. In six games, the 2025 second-round pick has 203 yards on 52 carries and a touchdown.
Stevenson is the bigger question for this week. He is expected to miss the next few weeks with a plantaris tendon issue in the back of his knee from Sunday's loss to the Packers. Mike Vrabel didn't rule out injured reserve but noted the team is short on return designations, per Alex Barth.
If Stevenson can't go, the backfield falls to Corey Kiner, who has 244 yards on 50 carries this season while playing a small share of the snaps, with Lan Larison behind him.
The Patriots (5-4) face the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 6:30 AM PT, then have their bye week, which gives both backs extra time to get healthy.
