Patriots don't expect Ben Brown to play in Week 10, waiting for Rhamondre Stevenson MRI results

The Patriots expect to be without guard Ben Brown when they face the Lions in Germany in Week 10.

Brown injured his knee during Sunday’s 45-27 loss to the Packers and head coach Mike Vrabel said at a Monday press conference that he doesn’t think Brown will be in the lineup for that game. Brown started at left guard and he was replaced by Walter Rouse.

The Patriots have been hit hard by injuries at guard. Mike Onwenu and Alijah Vera-Tucker are both on injured reserve, which has pushed Matt Pryor into the starting lineup.

Vrabel also said that running back Rhamondre Stevenson is getting an MRI on his knee and that the team does not have an update on his condition at this point. TreVeyon Henderson is out as he looks for answers to a neurological condition, which leaves Corey Kiner and Lan Larison as the team’s healthy backs.

Wide receiver A.J. Brown missed his second straight game with a knee injury and Vrabel said the team is unsure if he’ll be able to play in Munich.
