Patriots upgrade several players on injury report after light practice
New England moved several injured players from the inactive list to limited participation after Thursday's practice, while A.J. Brown remains limited.
The New England Patriots reported upgrades for several players on their injury list following a reportedly light practice on Thursday. Running back Rhamondle Stevenson, who missed Wednesday's session, was listed as a limited participant. Stevenson leads the team with 399 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and has added 26 receptions for 258 yards and two receiving scores.
"We’re pleased to see Rhamondle back on the field in a limited capacity," a team spokesperson said.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown, dealing with ankle and knee issues, was also listed as limited for a second consecutive practice, though he has not played since the Oct. 22 loss to Chicago. Tight end Cameron Latu, offensive lineman Walter Rouse, safety Brenden Schooler and several other players were upgraded from a non-participant status to limited.
Safety Kevin Byard, fullback Reggie Gilliam, tight end Hunter Henry, offensive tackle Morgan Moses, lineman Greg Van Roten and cornerback Charles Woods remained on the limited list. Quarterback Drake Maye was again listed as fully available. The team continues to keep offensive lineman Ben Brown, cornerback Carlton Davis and running back TreVeyon Henderson out of practice, citing knee injuries and illness.
