Patriots' Charles Woods: Questionable to play in Munich
Rotowire
Woods (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions in Munich.
Woods was unable to play against the Packers in Week 9 due to a hamstring injury. He opened Week 10 prep with consecutive limited practices before participating in full Friday, but his official status for Sunday's contest may not be known until New England announces its list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Carlton Davis (knee) did not travel with the team to Germany, and if Woods is not cleared to play Sunday, then Channing Canada and Karon Prunty would be the top candidates to start opposite Christian Gonzalez at outside cornerback.

Patriots' Charles Woods: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Woods exited the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Raiders early with a shoulder injury and did not return. The cornerback likely aggravated a pre-existing issue in the contest but was still able to suit up for practice Wednesday. Woods played through the injury to start the Week 5 contest and will likely do the same for Week 6 against the Jets unless Carlton Davis (neck) and Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) are healthy enough to reclaim their starting spots at outside cornerback.

Rotowire
Woods (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.
Woods suiting up was essentially a necessity for New England, who has four cornerbacks listed on the inactive list Sunday. The third-year defensive back -- who has 18 combined tackles through the first four weeks -- should be in line for a heavy snap count.

Patriots' Charles Woods: Trending toward suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Woods (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Woods missed New England's game in Week 7 at Tennessee because of a knee injury, but it now seems like he'll be back to full strength for Week 8. The Patriots' defensive backfield as a whole is relatively healthy at the moment, so Woods doesn't project to play a major role Sunday versus the Browns.
