  • Saints' Anfernee Jennings: Ruled out for Week 4

    Jennings (knee) won't play Monday against the Falcons, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Jennings suffered a knee injury last Sunday versus the Raiders and wasn't able to practice at all this week. Unsurprisingly, he's been ruled out from playing on Monday Night Football. With Carl Granderson (ankle) also out this week, both Myles Cole and Chris Rumph seem to in line for larger roles on defense.

  • Saints' Anfernee Jennings: Questionable to return Sunday

    Jennings has a knee injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    The linebacker recorded three tackles (two solo) and a pass breakup before exiting. Jennings played more on special teams than defense in New Orleans' first two games.

  • Saints' Anfernee Jennings: Heading to Big Easy

    Jennings is expected to sign with the Saints on Sunday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Jennings spent the last five seasons with the Patriots, accumulating 132 tackles and 7.5 sacks. The 2020 third-round pick was let go by New England on March 11. Jennings is heading into his age-29 season, and he should provide veteran depth behind Carl Granderson and Chase Young.

  • Anfernee Jennings: Time up in New England

    Jennings is slated to be released by the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

    Jennings departs New England as the team's longest tenured player, as Reiss reports, having played for a trio of head coaches during his time with the team. The Patriots create roughly $3.8 million in salary cap space with his release. Now heading into his age-29 season, Jennings will likely find a home elsewhere in the league as a rotational pass rusher.

  • Patriots' Anfernee Jennings: Healthy scratch

    Jennings (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Titans.

    Jennings missed the Week 6 win against the Saints with an ankle injury but is a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup. The linebacker contributed 20 defensive snaps in Week 4 and 22 in Week 5 prior to his ankle issue, and he had a similar special teams presence as well. With Jennings' status confirmed for Sunday, Jahlani Tavai could continue to see more defensive snaps as a reserve linebacker.

  • Patriots' Anfernee Jennings: Will suit up at Tennessee

    Jennings (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Jennings was forced to watch Week 6 action in New Orleans from the sidelines as he tended to an ankle issue, but he's now on track to play in Week 7. He figures to slot back into a rotational role on the edge across from a middling Tennessee offensive line.

  • Patriots' Anfernee Jennings: Still can't practice Wednesday

    Jennings (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Jennings was forced to spend Week 6 on the sideline with an ankle injury, and now it looks uncertain whether he'll be healthy enough to return in Week 7. Unless he's able to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, it's unlikely he'll be available Sunday at Tennessee.
