Patriots vs. Lions live updates, inactive, where to watch: Drake Maye, Jared Goff face off in Germany to kick off Sunday Week 10 slate

New England is dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball heading into Sunday’s clash against Detroit in Munich.

However, one player who is healthy and performing well is running back Corey Kiner. The Patriots’ RB2 finished with eight carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. Kiner took advantage of his expanded role after starter Rhamondre Stevenson suffered a knee injury.

Stevenson made a somewhat surprise appearance at practice this week, albeit in a limited capacity. That raised some eyebrows, signaling to some that he might try his luck at the Allianz Arena. However, if he suits up, I still strongly believe that a healthy Kiner will win the bulk of races.

Kiner ran the ball a season-high 11 times for 57 yards in an October 18 victory over the New York Jets. A week before, he had a 52-yard effort on just six carries in New England’s win over Las Vegas.

Back Kiner to clear his ground yardage, as he will need to be productive on the ground if New England is to have any chance of winning this game.
