"With Antonio Gibson out for the season, New England only has two running backs on his active roster - TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. So it's likely Jennings will make his season debut against the Saints as the Patriots' third back. Jennings is a second-year back that's seen limited time since the Patriots brought him in in 2024. He had eight carries for 20 yards in New England's season finale in 2024."
"Keion White has also been nursing an injury and was ruled out of Week 6, as has Anfernee Jennings. So Jones should provide some insurance as a depth option on Sunday. If Jones does take defensive snaps, Mike Vrabel certainly won't be worried about him. Vrabel called Jones one of his favorite players when asked about the edge rusher this week. "We'd be comfortable if we had to play him," Vrabel told reporters."
The Patriots elevated running back Terrell Jennings and defensive lineman Truman Jones from the practice squad for Week 6 against the Saints. Antonio Gibson is out for the season, leaving TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson as the primary active running backs and making Jennings the likely third back. Jennings saw limited action in 2024, totaling eight carries for 20 yards in the season finale, and could also contribute on special teams to help replace Gibson's kick return role. Jones provides defensive-line depth amid injuries to Milton Williams, Keion White and Anfernee Jennings, and earned praise from coach Mike Vrabel for his readiness.
