DeVante Parker Held Without A Catch In Win Over Detroit

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker wasn't targeted in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Detroit Lions. Coming off back-to-back solid performances, the 29-year-old didn't log a stat in Sunday's win.

Damien Harris Questionable To Return Sunday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Detroit Lions in Week 5. Rhamondre Stevenson will operate as the lead back in his absence.
