Tagged as questionable vs. Detroit

Schooler (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Lions on Sunday in Munich.
Analysis: Schooler was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the Patriots' Week 9 loss to the Packers. He ended Week 10 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and his absence would deplete the Patriots' depth both in the secondary and on special teams. Starting safety Kevin Byard (chest) is also listed as questionable despite logging a full practice Friday.
Questionable to play in Munich
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 4:34 PM
Woods (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions in Munich.
Analysis: Woods was unable to play against the Packers in Week 9 due to a hamstring injury. He opened Week 10 prep with consecutive limited practices before participating in full Friday, but his official status for Sunday's contest may not be known until New England announces its list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Carlton Davis (knee) did not travel with the team to Germany, and if Woods is not cleared to play Sunday, then Channing Canada and Karon Prunty would be the top candidates to start opposite Christian Gonzalez at outside cornerback.
Draws questionable tag for Week 10
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 4:31 PM
Following a full practice Friday, Byard (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions in Munich.
Analysis: Byard opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to fade the injury tag for Sunday's international game, so the veteran safety's status may not be officially known until the Patriots announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Jaylen Reed would be the top candidate to start alongside Craig Woodson at safety if Byard is not cleared to play against Detroit.
Hunter Henry
Hunter Henry Cleared to play Sunday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 11:21 AM
Henry (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions after logging another limited practice Friday.
Analysis: Though Henry was limited at practice all three days leading up to the contest, the Patriots were likely managing his reps in anticipation of having the tight end available this weekend. While it's possible that the team will get top WR A.J. Brown (knee/ankle, questionable) back versus Detroit, RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is still out and Rhamondre Stevenson (knee, questionable) is banged up, so Henry figures to be a key available option for QB Drake Maye to work with, provided he avoids any setbacks with his foot.
Rhamondre Stevenson
Rhamondre Stevenson Listed questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 11:07 AM
Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite a report earlier in the week indicating that Stevenson would likely miss some time, the running back's ability to log limited practices both Thursday and Friday gives him a chance to play this weekend. With a 9:30 am ET kickoff in Munich scheduled, those considering Stevenson or A.J. Brown (knee/ankle, questionable) in Week 10 fantasy lineups will have the duo's statuses clarified before the first wave of games Sunday. Moreover, there's a pretty good chance that NFL insiders such as Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network and Adam Schefter of ESPN will provide some updates on New England's injury situation either late Saturday or early Sunday. If the team ends up holding Stevenson out ahead of a Week 11 bye, Corey Kiner, followed by Lan Larison, would be next in line for backfield work versus Detroit this weekend, with TreVeyon Henderson (illness) still sidelined.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Listed as questionable to face Detroit
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 10:58 AM
Brown (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The same applies to RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), with coach Mike Vrabel having said "pretty good" when asked before Friday's practice about his view on how the duo was progressing toward playing this weekend. Fortunately for those considering Brown (who was listed as limited at practice Wednesday through Friday) in Week 10 fantasy lineups, his status will be known before the first wave of games Sunday, with a 9:30 am ET kickoff in Munich scheduled.
Rhamondre Stevenson
Rhamondre Stevenson Not in uniform for Friday's practice
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 7:38 AM
Stevenson (knee) was present but not in uniform for Friday's practice, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Stevenson was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but it's worth noting that Chad Graff of The Athletic described that as a "pad-less, extremely light" session. With the running back presumably in line to log a 'DNP' a day later, Stevenson could be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions later Friday, and in that scenario, with TreVeyon Henderson (illness) still sidelined, Corey Kiner, followed by Lan Larison, would be next in line for backfield work versus Detroit this weekend, with Terrell Jennings a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad.
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson Working toward return, but timetable TBD
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 7:18 AM
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Henderson (illness) is working hard to get back, while acknowledging that he doesn't have a timetable for when that may occur, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: On the topic of when the running back might return, Vrabel noted Friday, "when that is, I don't know. I don't have a timetable." Henderson, who last saw game action in Week 7, has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, and based on Vrabel's statement, the 2025 second-rounder's status beyond the Patriots' Week 11 bye is unclear. Fellow RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday, but if he ends up being held out this weekend, Corey Kiner, followed by Lan Larison, would be next up for the team's backfield work versus Detroit, with Terrell Jennings representing a possible practice squad elevation.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Practices again Friday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 7:12 AM
Brown (ankle/knee) practiced Friday for a third straight day, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was listed as a limited participant on both Wednesday's and Thursday's injury reports, and it appears he is getting at least some work in for a third straight day. The Patriots will reveal his official status for Sunday's matchup with the Lions in Munich when they release their final injury report later Friday.
Hunter Henry
Hunter Henry Limited again
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 3:26 PM
Henry (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Henry played through the injury in last week's loss to Green Bay and has now managed back-to-back limited practices to open Week 10. He'll likely gut it out again Sunday against the Lions in Munich, and while the matchup is favorable, rookie Eli Raridon had been cutting into Henry's snaps and targets even before the veteran injured his foot in a Week 8 win at Miami. Henry played 49.2 percent of snaps in the Week 9 loss to Green Bay, catching each of his three targets for 35 yards.
Rhamondre Stevenson
Rhamondre Stevenson Returns to practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 3:17 PM
Stevenson (knee) returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant.
Analysis: Stevenson's participation may come as a surprise after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the running back was likely to miss a few weeks. The Patriots have a Week 11 bye, but first they'll face the Lions in Munich this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Corey Kiner is next up as New England's lead runner if Stevenson doesn't play. Patriots wideout DeMario Douglas told reporters that Stevenson hopes to play, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Limited at practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 3:10 PM
Brown (knee/ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Brown has been listed as limited on consecutive days to open the Patriots' Week 10 prep in Munich. He would likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying a questionable tag into Sunday's game against the Lions, which kicks off at 9:30 a.m. EST. In three appearances for New England, Brown has nine catches for 101 yards.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Participating in Thursday's practice
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 10:12 AM
Brown (knee/ankle) is taking part in Thursday's practice, which Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site describes as a jog-through.
Analysis: Brown's presence at Thursday's session is another positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions in Munich, which will kick off at 9:30 a.m. EST. The wideout was listed as limited at Wednesday's practice, and Brown's participation level Friday will be critical to assessing his likelihood of suiting up following a two-game absence.
Rhamondre Stevenson
Rhamondre Stevenson Working off to side Thursday
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 10:10 AM
Stevenson (knee) was working off to the side at the start of Thursday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: Previous reports suggested that Stevenson, who registered a 'DNP' on Wednesday, is expected to miss time after exiting this past Sunday's loss to the Packers. While it's encouraging to see the running back get some level of work in Thursday, chances are he'll officially be deemed a non-participant on the Patriots' upcoming injury report. The team has a bye in Week 11, which figures to factor into the decision-making process ahead of this weekend's game against the Lions in Munich.
Uncharacteristic performance in Week 9 loss
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 9:01 PM
Gonzalez logged 10 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense during the Patriots' 45-27 loss to the Packers in Week 9.
Analysis: Gonzalez's 10 stops were a season high, but the larger concern was his poor performance in coverage. Per Pro Football Focus, Gonzalez on coverage for 11 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Jordan Love had a 158.3 passing rating while targeting the fourth-year defensive back. It wasn't the performance that the Patriots were expecting after signing Gonzalez to a lucrative four-year, $135 million contract extension in September. Things won't get easier for him nor the Patriots' secondary, as they travel to Munich for Week 10 against the Lions, whose offense ranks fourth in the NFL in yards per game (379.8).
Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 7:44 PM
Campbell (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Campbell suffered a knee injury against the Packers in Week 9, but he was cleared to practice in full Wednesday. Given his full practice reps, Campbell should start at left tackle Sunday against the Lions in Munich.
Logs limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 7:40 PM
Woods (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Woods was unable to play against the Packers in Week 9 due to a hamstring injury. He's opened Week 10 prep with a limited practice, and if he's cleared to play Sunday against the Lions in Munich, then he would be a candidate for more work in the secondary due to the absence of Carlton Davis (knee).
Won't play in Germany
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 7:39 PM
Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions in Munich, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown tweaked his knee against the Packers in Week 9, and the injury is severe enough for him to not travel with the team to Munich. In his absence, Walter Rouse is expected to serve as the Patriots' starter at left guard. Since the Patriots are on a bye for Week 11, Brown's next chance to suit up is Week 12 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 29.
Limited by chest injury
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:07 PM
Byard (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Byard was working through a chest injury in October, but it's unclear whether he's dealing with the same issue for the start of Week 10 prep. The veteran safety will have two more chances to increase his practice participation before the Patriots travel to Munich to face the Lions on Sunday. Byard has 43 tackles (23 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception) through the first nine games of the regular season.
Will not travel to Germany
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:05 PM
Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions in Munich, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Davis suffered a knee injury during the Patriots' loss to the Packers this past Sunday. New England already ruled out the veteran defensive back for Week 10, so Charles Woods (hamstring), Channing Canada and Karon Prunty figure to be the top candidates to start opposite Christian Gonzalez at outside cornerback. The Patriots are on a bye for Week 11, so Davis will have more time to recover for Week 12 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 29.
