A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown cleared to play in Patriots-Lions game in Munich
Both teams will have their leading wide receivers available for Sunday’s matchup in Munich, with A.J. Brown returning for New England and Amon-Ra St. Brown suited up for Detroit.
The New England Patriots and Detroit Lions each listed their top wide receiver as questionable for Sunday’s game in Munich, but both players are now expected to play. A.J. Brown was activated after missing the previous two contests with a knee injury and earlier in the season sat out four games due to an ankle problem, marking his fourth appearance of the year. Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has been coping with a rib injury, remains available and noted the significance of the game given his German heritage and language skills.
Running back Rhamondre Stevenson is also active for the Patriots despite a knee issue that had him listed as questionable, providing needed depth as the team continues without TreVeyon Henderson. Several Patriots players, including safety Brenden Schooler, guard Walter Rouse, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, quarterback Behren Morton, guard Ben Brown and cornerback Carlton Davis, are listed as inactive. Detroit’s roster includes cornerback D.J. Reed, center Cade Mays, defensive back Keith Abney, linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga, defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo and defensive end Ahmed Hassanein as out.
