What is the story about?

The New England Patriots had a few key injury updates this past week, getting their star receiver back as well as some others. And with that, it means good things for the offense in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.

Before the trip to Germany, the Patriots ruled out G/C Ben Brown (knee), CB Carlton Davis III (knee), and RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness). Then, on Saturday, Henderson was placed on injured reserve.

The team also listed nine players as questionable: WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee), S Kevin Byard III (chest), FB Reggie Gilliam (knee), TE Cameron Latu (back), OL Walter Rouse (concussion protocol), S Brenden Schooler (hamstring), RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), OL Greg Van Roten (hamstring), and CB Charles Woods (hamstring).

As for TE

Hunter Henry (foot), QB Drake Maye (right shoulder), and T Morgan Moses (foot), they were given no game status, indicating they are good to go.

Van Roten and Gilliam were both activated to the 53-man roster on Saturday as well. And the team elevated G Andrew Rupcich from the practice squad.

Here's the full list of inactives for this game:

Patriots inactives

WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee)
G/C Ben Brown (knee)
CB Carlton Davis III (knee)
G Walter Rouse (concussion protocol)
OT Dametrious Crownover (healthy scratch)
S Brenden Schooler (hamstring)

Since the Patriots didn't elevate running back Terrell Jennings from the practice squad, it indicated on Saturday that Stevenson will play in some form, as the team also has Corey Kiner and Lan Larison. However, the team did use one of their elevations for guard Andrew Rupcich, and they also activated Greg Van Roten, so that made it likely Rouse hadn't cleared concussion protocol, which turned out to be the case. After returning to practice this week, wide receiver A.J. Brown will be making his return to the field.
