Jennings, who was on the field for only three of 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, gained zero yards on his only carry.
With Rhamondre Stevenson back in the mix Sunday following a three-game absence, Jennings worked as New England's No. 3 RB in a backfield led by TreVeyon Henderson. As long as both Henderson and Stevenson are available, Jennings won't have a path to steady playing time or touches in New England's offense.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Active versus Jets
Rotowire
Jennings (knee), who had been listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Jets, is active for the contest.
On Monday, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com relayed that Jennings, who was forced out of this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers with a knee issue after logging just five snaps, noted ahead of Week 11 action that he'd "definitely be okay. It's just a little bruise." With his active status confirmed and Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) still sidelined, Jennings is slated to work behind TreVeyon Henderson, who carried 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns while catching one pass for three yards versus Tampa Bay. In that context, Jennings is in line to handle complementary touches Thursday, which makes him a fantasy lineup dart this week. Additionally, practice-squad elevation D'Ernest Johnson is on hand to provide backfield depth.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Jennings (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Jets.
Per Karen Guregian of MassLive.com, Jennings -- who left Sunday's win over the Bucs after just five snaps -- suggested Monday that he'll "definitely be okay. It's just a little bruise," but his official 'questionable' designation makes his status worth tracking ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) still sidelined, Jennings -- if available -- would be next in line for carries behind TreVeyon Henderson versus New York. Meanwhile, D'Ernest Johnson and Jonathan Ward are candidates to be elevated from New England's practice squad ahead of the contest.
Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Jennings played just five offensive snaps before being forced out of a Week 10 win over the Buccaneers. Though he was active enough to be listed as limited on the injury report for the second day in a row, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com noted that Jennings was spotted working out on a side field during the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, making it unclear whether the running back actually mixed into drills. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was also listed as limited and was seen working out on the side, so the availability of both backs for Thursday's game against the Jets is uncertain. With Stevenson missing his second game in a row in Week 10 and Jennings exiting the contest early, rookie TreVeyon Henderson took full advantage as he amassed 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches to perhaps earn himself a larger role even after the New England backfield is back to full strength.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Listed as limited to begin week
Rotowire
Jennings (knee) is listed as limited on Monday's injury report.
Jennings left in the first half of Sunday's eventual win in Tampa Bay due to a knee injury and was ruled out after halftime. He told Karen Guregian of MassLive.com on Monday that he'll "definitely be okay. It's just a little bruise." Fellow RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and TreVeyon Henderson (knee) also were limited to begin Week 11 prep, so the situation bears watching to get a sense of who among the trio will be available Thursday versus the Jets.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Jennings thus finishes the contest with four carries for five yards. The Patriots play again Thursday night against the Jets, so Jennings' status for that game currently looks cloudy given the short turnaround. Given that Rhamondre Stevenson is still dealing with a toe injury, D'Ernest Johnson could end up backing up TreVeyon Henderson in Week 11.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Remains RB2 with Stevenson out
Rotowire
Jennings is expected to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't play.
Jennings played a complementary role alongside TreVeyon Henderson in Stevenson's absence against the Falcons in Week 9, turning 12 touches into 44 yards from scrimmage, including a three-yard touchdown run. Per Reiss, Stevenson remaining out paves the way for Henderson to make his second straight start Sunday, but Jennings is poised to maintain his expanded role, while fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson likely will be elevated from the practice squad once again to provide backfield depth this weekend.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) could be out again in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, which would make Jennings a potential flex option in the majority of leagues. In Week 9 against Atlanta with Stevenson out, Jennings worked in tandem with TreVeyon Henderson, and Jennings had 11 carries for 35 yards and a touchdown and one catch for 9 yards on one target. It's not an easy matchup against the Buccaneers, but Jennings can still be useful in deeper leagues if he's getting double digits in touches. And we also don't know the severity of Stevenson's injury, which could linger and give Jennings some long-term appeal as the complement to Henderson. Jennings is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Gets 12 touches with Stevenson out
Rotowire
Jennings rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.
Jennings scored his first NFL touchdown on a three-yard run in the second quarter. The second-year pro out of Florida A&M played an expanded role in the absence of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), though TreVeyon Henderson led New England's backfield with 87 yards on 18 touches. Jennings' catch was also the first of his career, suggesting his involvement will likely come primarily on the ground, but he could continue to factor in against the stout Buccaneers run defense in Week 10 if Stevenson remains sidelined.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Could see added work Sunday
Rotowire
With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, TreVeyon Henderson and Jennings are currently the only healthy running backs on the Patriots' active roster, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
In that context, Henderson, who broke out for a career-high 75 yards on 10 carries in last week's win over the Browns, a game in which Stevenson recorded 14 carries and a catch on two targets, figures to see an uptick in touches Sunday, with Jennings available to mix in. Additionally, D'Ernest Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad, but with Stevenson's timetable for a return not yet outlined, Jennings might be worth a speculative add by those in deeper leagues who have the roster flexibility for such a move.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Signed to Pats' active roster
Rotowire
The Patriots signed Jennings off the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
The Patriots elevated Jennings for the practice squad three times this season, so his addition to the active roster ensures that the second-year pro will continue to play with New England this season. He has served as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, and Jennings has turned seven carries into 33 yards over his last two games. Jennings has also worked on special teams and should continue to serve that role while providing backfield depth now that he is on the 53-man roster.

Jennings was also elevated each of the past two weeks. He played exclusive on special teams in Week 6 against New Orleans before logging eight offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps last Sunday versus Tennessee, carrying five times for 18 yards. Jennings has now been elevated three times, so he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be eligible to suit up for the Patriots after this weekend.

Jennings was signed to the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday.
Jennings went unclaimed on waivers after being cut loose by the team Tuesday, and he will now stick around New England as a member of the practice unit. The running back played in three regular-season contests with the Patriots in 2024, so he's certainly familiar with the organization.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Gets roster spot with New England
Rotowire
The Patriots signed Jennings to their 53-man roster Saturday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
New England originally gave Jennings a look by signing him as an undrafted free agent in mid-May. The Florida A&M product didn't make the Pats' roster out of training camp, but he has been on the team's practice squad and was elevated for Week 6 against Houston, when he carried five times for 13 yards. Jennings will provide running back depth Sunday against Buffalo due to JaMycal Hasty being ruled out with an ankle injury, and given New England's current 3-11 record, the team may elect to give Jennings a longer look before the regular season is over.
