Anfernee Jennings and Kyle Dugger, veterans of the Patriots, played significantly into the second-half during recent preseason games, which is atypical for players of their caliber. Jennings, in his fifth season, was fourth in tackles with 78 the previous year and had impressive performance with three sacks in the latest contest. Dugger, a former team captain, made a crucial interception in the game. Coach Mike Vrabel emphasized the limited player availability leading to veteran participation in the later stages of games, crucial for maintaining a complete lineup.
"I've seen a competitiveness (in him) and Anfernee has been around...To his credit, he's done nothing but compete in practice, earn reps in the games and take advantage of every one that he's gotten."
"We only have so many guys. There's guys who didn't travel, guys who didn't play and we have to have 11 out there every play."
