No. 1 in the 30-second version

Patriots list A.J. Brown and Rhamondre Stevenson as questionable for Sunday against the Lions.

Brown was limited on all three injury reports this week, and Stevenson was limited Thursday and Friday after not participating Wednesday. Quarterback Drake Maye, tight end Hunter Henry and tackle Morgan Moses are off the injury report and set to play.

No. 2 in the 30-second version

Lions list Amon-Ra St. Brown as questionable for Sunday against the Patriots with a rib injury.

ProFootballTalk says it is extraordinarily unlikely St. Brown will miss the game, given his willingness to play through injuries. Safety Kerby Joseph, center Cade Mays and cornerback DJ Reed are ruled out.

No. 3 in the 30-second version

Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams has instituted $1,000 fines for players who jump offsides.

Williams said the fines will go toward members of the training staff or custodians in the building. The defense was flagged seven times over the last two games, and New England leads the league in encroachment penalties with four. Williams said cleaning up pre-snap penalties is key to bouncing back from allowing a season-high 45 points to Green Bay.

Giants fall 21-24 to Commanders after a late touchdown drive and a disputed DPI penalty.

John Harbaugh said the failed third-and-1 quarterback sneak by Jameis Winston was a normal sneak and not a Tush Push. Harbaugh said he would not have tried the delay-of-game trick on the fourth-and-1 play again. CBS Sports reported Giants players criticized the DPI penalty, and ESPN said New York's division lead is shrinking.

Jaguars will sit newly acquired Jessie Bates and Jordan Davis Sunday against the Titans.

Coach Liam Coen said both players did not have bye weeks with their previous teams, while Jacksonville has already had its bye. Davon Godchaux, who did have a bye, is set to play. Coen said the decision gives the players a week to learn the system.

Eagles release wide receiver Hollywood Brown at his request, according to ESPN.

Brown appeared in only four games for Philadelphia, with one start and five catches for 63 yards. ProFootballTalk reported Brown was available in trades but drew no offers, and that his contract will go through waivers because the trade deadline has passed.
