What happened: The New England Patriots ruled out running back TreVeyon Henderson for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions in Germany. Henderson was designated out ahead of the Week 10 contest due to an illness.
Why it matters: Henderson previously suffered a high ankle sprain in October, leaving New England's offensive backfield tested once again. The Patriots face a 6-2 Detroit team that enters on a four-game winning streak after defeating Miami 19-9.
By the numbers: Detroit enters Week 10 at 6-2 on a four-game winning streak, while New England allowed 45 points in its Nov. 8 loss to Green Bay.
What to watch: The Patriots and Lions kick off Sunday in Germany, with New England adjusting its offensive rotation in Henderson's absence.
