The New England Patriots could use any extra help they can get on offense as injuries have continued to pile up. However, the team's injury luck may finally be turning in their favor.
The Patriots officially listed starting wide receiver AJ Brown and running back Rhamondre Stevenson as questionable for the team's Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany after they logged back-to-back practices as limited participants.

It's certainly good news for both players. Brown has been sidelined for the past two games with ankle and knee injuries, which reportedly flared up in practice.
There's no doubt the Patriots have missed Brown's presence, too. The team traded a 2027 fifth-round pick and 2028 first-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason for him.
Brown hasn't been particularly productive when on the field this season, recording just nine catches for 101 yards and zero touchdowns in three games, but it's safe to assume his health has played a factor.

Meanwhile, Stevenson left the Patriots Week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the third quarter after he suffered a right knee injury.
Early reports suggested Stevenson would likely miss multiple weeks, but that no longer seems to be the case after he made an unexpected return to practice during the second half of the week.
With backup running back TreVeyon Henderson already ruled out, the Patriots would have to lean heavily on Corey Kiner if Stevenson is inactive. But it looks like New England may just get its bell cow back on the field this Sunday.
Stevenson has rushed for 399 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in 26 catches for another 258 yards and two scores this season.
Only time will tell if Brown and Stevenson will make their much-anticipated return to the field on Sunday, but their questionable statuses hint their time is coming soon, either way.
