What happened: New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions in Munich. Stevenson was present but did not participate in uniform during Friday's practice due to a knee issue. His designation leaves his availability uncertain ahead of the international matchup.
Why it matters: The 5-4 Patriots hold the No. 7 seed in the AFC following a 45-27 loss to Green Bay and need backfield consistency to remain in playoff position. The Lions enter at 6-2 with a four-game winning streak, holding the fifth seed in the NFC. Stevenson remains central to New England's plan after he led the backfield workload in an October contest against Chicago.
By the numbers: In 2026 through 9 games, Stevenson has recorded 102 carries for 399 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. New England sits at 5-4 following a 45-27 loss to Green Bay, while Detroit is 6-2 on a four-game winning streak after defeating Miami 19-9.
What to watch: Game-day inactives will confirm Stevenson's status 90 minutes before Sunday's kickoff in Munich.
