Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Officially placed on IR
Rotowire
The Patriots placed Jennings (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.
As expected, Jennings will go on injured reserve due to a concussion, and with just four games left in the regular season, he won't be eligible to play for the Patriots until the postseason. D'Ernest Johnson was signed off the practice squad to New England's active roster in a corresponding move, and he'll serve as the team's RB3 behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson to close out the regular season.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: To be placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Patriots are set to place Jennings (concussion) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jennings entered the league's concussion protocol following the Patriots' Week 13 win over the Giants. Even with the Week 14 bye, Jennings wasn't cleared to return to practice this past week before being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills. His concussion is severe enough for him to warrant a multi-game absence, and with just four regular-season games left, Jennings won't be eligible to return until the playoffs, as the Patriots are nearly a lock to get in. D'Ernest Johnson was elevated from the practice squad Friday, and Rapoport relays that the veteran running back will be signed to the active roster in Jennings' absence.

Jennings remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and could not practice in any capacity in preparation for Sunday's game.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Misses another practice
Rotowire
Jennings (concussion) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The Florida A&M product was unable to practice all week, so it's unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills. Both Craig Reynolds and D'Ernest Johnson are candidates to be elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster if Jennings is sidelined in Week 15 as expected.

Rotowire
Jennings (concussion) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings thus has two more opportunities to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Ruled out with head injury
Rotowire
Jennings (head) will not return to Monday's game against the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Jennings exited the game early in the second quarter and was last seen headed into the locker room. It's unclear if he was diagnosed with a concussion, though additional details should emerge following the game. TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson should see a heavy workload for the rest of the game as the only healthy running backs that are active for the Patriots.

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.

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 elevated to the Patriots' active roster for this past Sunday's game against New Orleans and logged seven snaps, all of which came on special teams. With Antonio Gibson (knee) on IR, Jennings could get elevated again in Week 7, though the Patriots elected to give just two running backs (TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson) carries against the Saints.
