MUNICH (AP) — Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back Rhamondre Stevenson were officially active for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions in Munich. Both stars had been listed as questionable.
Brown (ankle/knee) missed the past two games — a win over Miami and last week’s loss to Green Bay. He previously missed four games while on injured reserve. The team’s top offseason acquisition, Brown has just nine receptions for 101 yards so far
this season.
Stevenson (knee), the team’s leading rusher, was injured in last week’s loss to the Packers.
Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson, who didn't make the trip, was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Henderson said last week that he spent several days in the hospital undergoing tests to determine the cause of unexplained neurological symptoms that have affected his strength and coordination.
Also active for the Patriots were CB Charles Woods (hamstring), OL Greg Van Roten (hamstring) and FB Reggie Gilliam (knee).
Before traveling Wednesday, the Patriots ruled out LG Ben Brown (knee), CB Carlton Davis III (knee) and Henderson.
New England's other inactives Sunday: G Walter Rouse (concussion), S Brenden Schooler (hamstring), OT Dametrious Crownover and rookie Behren Morton (emergency third quarterback).
Lions running back Sione Vaki (ankle) was active after being listed as questionable Friday. New safety Andre Cisco was also active.
Detroit's inactives were: CB Keith Abney II, edge rusher Amad Hassanein, LB Amen Ogbongbemiga and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo. S Kerby Joseph (knee), C Cade Mays (ankle) and CB D.J. Reed (hip) did not travel to Munich and had already been ruled out.
