FOXBORO — The Patriots didn’t come out of Sunday’s matchup with the Packers unscathed.
Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), cornerback Carlton Davis III (knee) and left guard Ben Brown (knee) all left the Week 9 loss and didn’t return to action. Left tackle Will Campbell (knee) also didn’t finish the game after heading into the blue medical tent, but he stayed on the sideline.
Stevenson was ruled out almost immediately after suffering the knee injury.
Corey Kiner and Lan Larison took over for Stevenson, who had six carries for 32 yards and three catches on four targets for 46 yards with a touchdown.
Davis was replaced by rookie cornerback Karon Prunty, who allowed a 10-yard touchdown to Packers wide receiver Savion Williams.
Walter Rouse entered the game in reserve of Brown. This is now the third knee injury Brown has suffered this season. If he has to miss time, the Patriots could activate Greg Van Roten off injured reserve.
The Patriots have been ravaged by injuries all season. They entered this game without running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness), wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee/ankle) and cornerback Charles Woods (hamstring). Wide receiver Romeo Doubs, right guard Mike Onwenu and left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker are among the Patriots’ players still on injured reserve.
They have a short time to get healthy before leaving for Germany to take on the Lions in Week 10. The Patriots will take off for the international game on Wednesday evening.
