Brown and Henderson unavailable
The Patriots will be without wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back TreVeyon Henderson in Week 9. Both were ruled out and are on the game-day inactive list, removing two offensive options from New England’s lineup. Brown has ankle and knee injuries, while Henderson is dealing with an illness. Neither participated in practice on Nov. 6. Quarterback Behren Morton, cornerback Charles Woods and offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover are also inactive. For fantasy managers, Brown and Henderson need to be out of starting lineups.
Six questionable players are active
Tight end Hunter Henry, wide receiver Mack Hollins and offensive tackle Morgan Moses are active after receiving questionable designations. Henry and Moses have foot injuries, and Hollins has a calf injury. All three were limited in practice on Nov. 6. The same availability update applies to safeties Brenden Schooler and Kevin Byard and cornerback Carlton Davis III. Schooler was limited by a hamstring injury; Byard and Davis participated fully despite chest and neck injuries, respectively. Henry and Hollins remain available as fantasy options, though active status alone does not establish how much either will play.
Maye participates fully
Quarterback Drake Maye logged full practice participation with a shoulder injury. Christian Barmore, Dre’Mont Jones, Gabe Jacas and Marcus Jones also participated fully on Nov. 6 and are active. Barmore was listed with an illness, Dre’Mont Jones with a shoulder injury, Jacas with a knee injury and Marcus Jones with a foot injury.
Other injury-list designations
Guard Greg Van Roten was listed as out with a hamstring injury after limited practice participation. His reserve-list designation is IR-R. Center Ben Brown carries a doubtful designation. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson and offensive tackle Will Campbell are listed as questionable. Alijah Vera-Tucker, Dell Pettus, Khalil Jacobs, Mike Onwenu, Myles Montgomery, Quintayvious Hutchins, Reggie Gilliam and Romeo Doubs carry IR designations. Harold Landry III is listed as PUP-R.
