On Saturday, the two offensive standouts were downgraded to out for the Week 8 game. It's another tough blow for an offensive unit that has been riddled with injuries throughout the season. With Brown going down, again, the Patriots have lost half of their receiving corps to injuries.
Keep in mind that Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs are still on injured reserve.
Brown has been dealing with an ankle/knee injury, and Henderson has been fighting an illness. Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant was also ruled out for the game.
The Patriots are likely to turn to Lan Larison as the No. 3 running back on Sunday behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner. At wide receiver, they'll have to choose between Ryan Miller, Chandler Brayboy, Cameron Dorner and Kyle Dixon on the practice squad.
Maye will have limited options to go to at receiver, with Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism III being the only healthy wideouts left on the main roster.
