Patriots upgrade Stevenson to limited practice; A.J. Brown still limited

New England running back Rhamondre Stevenson took part in Thursday’s practice in Munich on a limited basis after missing Wednesday’s session with a knee injury, according to the Patriots’ injury report. Receiver A.J. Brown, listed with ankle and knee injuries, remained limited.

Stevenson is the Patriots’ leading rusher, with 399 yards and two touchdowns. His receiving production includes 26 catches, 258 yards and two touchdowns. Brown could return this week after missing action since the loss to the Bears on Oct. 22; Thursday marked his second consecutive limited practice.

Three other players moved from no participation to limited work: Cameron Latu, a tight end with a back injury; Walter Rouse, an offensive lineman in concussion protocol; and Brenden Schooler, who has a hamstring injury.

The report also kept Kevin Byard (chest), Reggie Gilliam (knee) and Hunter Henry (foot) at limited participation. Morgan Moses (foot), Greg Van Roten (hamstring) and Charles Woods (hamstring) had the same designation. Quarterback Drake Maye continued to be listed as a full participant despite a right shoulder injury.

Offensive lineman Ben Brown and cornerback Carlton Davis, both with knee injuries, were previously ruled out, as was running back TreVeyon Henderson because of illness. None of the three traveled with the team.
