What happened: The New England Patriots listed wide receiver A.J. Brown and tight end Hunter Henry as questionable ahead of their trip to Germany to face the Detroit Lions. Henry was limited during Wednesday's practice session due to a foot issue. Both key targets face uncertain availability for the overseas game.
Why it matters: New England is looking to rebound after a 45-27 loss to Green Bay against a 6-2 Detroit squad that currently holds the NFC fifth seed. The Lions enter coming off a 19-9 road win over Miami, creating a difficult matchup for New England's shorthanded offense.
By the numbers: Henry has recorded 32 receptions for 361 yards and two touchdowns in 2026 through nine games. Detroit enters Week 10 at 6-2 on the season.
What to watch: Official game designations will be finalized when New England releases its active roster 90 minutes before kickoff in Germany.
