Lan Larison: Joins up with New England's practice squad
The Patriots signed Larison to the practice squad Monday.
The Patriots waived Larison during Sunday's cut-down day. The running back cleared waivers and will once again rejoin the team that took a chance on him as an undrafted free agent out of UC Davis in 2025. Larison spent the entirety of the 2025 season on the Patriots' IR with a foot issue. The 24-year-old's first shot at an NFL regular-season game could come in 2026 if he is chosen to be elevated or signed to the active roster at any point.

Lan Larison: Let go by New England
The Patriots waived Larison on Sunday.
Larison appeared in all three of the Patriots' preseason games, turning 18 carries into 39 yards and a touchdown while adding nine catches (on 14 targets) for 79 yards. He also contributed on special teams both as a gunner and returner on kickoffs, but that versatility was not enough for him to crack the Patriots' 53-man roster for the regular season. Larison could garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking to add backfield depth to the roster, but a return to New England as a member of the practice squad is possible if he goes unclaimed.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Quiet in preseason finale
Larison (undisclosed) rushed twice for five yards and didn't catch either of his two targets in Thursday's 37-13 preseason loss to the Browns.
Larison suited up for the preseason finale after missing practice time earlier in the week due to an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old running back is competing for a depth role in New England's backfield. Larison didn't help his chances of making the team with Thursday's quiet performance, but he showcased some promising receiving capabilities with a six-catch performance in the preseason opener against the Colts. Jam Miller, Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty are also in contention for the third spot on New England's running back depth chart.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Not practicing Monday
Larison (undisclosed) will not practice Monday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Larison is among several Patriots who are banged up and not practicing Monday, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. The running back out of UC Davis is battling for a roster spot and performed well in the Patriots' most recent preseason game, particularly as a pass catcher out of the backfield. New England's preseason finale is set for Thursday, so the hope is Larison will be available to make one more impression on the staff before roster cutdowns.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Makes impact as receiver Thursday
Larison gained just one yard on seven carries in Thursday's 13-13 preseason tie with the Colts, but he caught six of eight targets for 38 yards.
The undrafted running back out of UC Davis couldn't get anything going on the ground, but Larison's pass-catching chops stood out -- no other Patriot had more than three receptions on the night. His opportunities came with both TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson getting the night off, but the performance may have boosted Larison's chances of beginning the season in the RB3 role. He has yet to make his NFL debut after spending his rookie season in 2025 on the IR due to foot surgery.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Lead candidate for No. 3 role
Larison is part of the competition for the No. 3 running back role, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are the Patriots' unquestioned top two backs, and Terrell Jennings (undisclosed) was the favorite for the primary depth role before being placed on injured reserve Thursday. Jennings' misfortune boosts Larison's chances of earning a spot on the 53-man roster, and he'll have to continue to battle Jam Miller, Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Works with second team
Larison led the second-team offense Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
It seems that Terrell Jennings has the early lead for the No. 3 running back position, but Larison might be his closest competition. While Jennings took snaps with the first-team offense Wednesday, Larison led the second. There could be a situation in the future where Larison earns the right to test the first-team waters behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Patriots' Lan Larison: In camp competition vs. rookies
Larison is battling rookies Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery for the third spot on the Patriots' running back depth chart, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Larison looks like the early favorite for the third spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, but Miller and Montgomery will have opportunities to strengthen their cases for roster spots throughout training camp and the preseason. Lazar notes that Larison, Miller and Montgomery have all gotten opportunities on kickoff returns early in training camp. Special-teams ability could be the deciding factor for which running back earns a roster spot, since Stevenson and Henderson are expected to monopolize opportunities on offense if healthy.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Making push for No. 3 RB slot
Larison appears to the early leader to serve as the Patriots' No. 3 running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Also in the mix for slotting behind the top duo are Terrell Jennings (undisclosed), Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery, but after spending the entire 2025 campaign on IR due to a foot injury, Larison is making a push to claim a complementary backfield role ahead of Week 1. In any case, the back who emerges as New England's No. 3 option has modest fantasy upside as long as Stevenson and Henderson are healthy.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Vying for RB3 spot in New England
Larison and Terrell Jennings are set to battle for the third spot on the Patriots' running back depth chart in training camp, Christopher Price of the Boston Globe reports.
Larison signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of UC Davis prior to the 2025 season but injured his foot during the preseason and spent the entire campaign on IR. Now that he's healthy, Larison will try to earn a roster spot in a depth role behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery are also vying for roles in New England's running back room.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Participating in OTAs
Larison (foot) is participating in OTAs, Sophie Weller of Patriots Wire reports.
The running back suffered a season-ending foot injury during an August preseason game last year, but he appears to be healthy now. Per Weller, at this stage of the offseason, Larison seems to be leading the competition for the third running back spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Jam Miller, Myles Montgomery and Terrell Jennings are also part of that competition.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Placed on injured reserve
The Patriots placed Larison (foot) on injured reserve Sunday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Larison suffered the injury during his two-yard touchdown run at the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter of Friday's preseason win over the Commanders. He was seen in a walking boot after the game and was diagnosed with a foot injury that is severe enough for him to require season-ending surgery, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. The Patriots signed running back Deneric Prince to the roster in a corresponding move.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Seen with walking boot
Larison was spotted wearing a walking boot following the Patriots' 48-18 preseason win over the Commanders on Friday, Michael Giardi of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
Larison went back to the locker room shortly after scoring the Patriots' final touchdown of the game at the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter, per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. The walking boot might be a precautionary measure. However, he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the undrafted rookie is in danger of missing the Patriots' second preseason contest against the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 16. Larison finished Friday's game with seven carries for 35 yards and two catches on as many targets for nine yards.
