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.

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.
Jennings reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. The running back got the call-up Sunday with starter Rhamondre Stevenson out with a foot injury. Jennings played on 14 of 66 offensive snaps in New England's 41-21 loss to Houston, recording five carries for 13 yards. The Patriots' top two running backs in the game, Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty, handled 32 and 21 snaps, respectively.
Jennings was elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 matchup versus Houston, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jennings will get his first elevation -- and potentially his first NFL action -- as a result of New England's starting running back, Rhamondre Stevenson, being ruled out for Week 6 due to a foot injury. Jennings played college ball at Florida A&M and was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in May. He'll likely work behind Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty in New England's backfield Sunday.
The Patriots signed Jennings to their practice squad Wednesday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Jennings has been brought back to the Patriots' practice squad after being waived just one day ago. The Florida A&M product rushed 120 times for 673 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final collegiate season in 2023.
The Patriots waived Jennings on Tuesday. Jennings signed with New England in May as an undrafted free agent. The Florida A&M product spent training camp competing for a depth spot at running back, and he finished the preseason with 12 carries for 74 yards across three games. Jennings could receive an invite to the Patriots' practice squad should he go unclaimed off waivers.
Jennings (undisclosed) passed his physical Sunday and was activated from the active/PUP list. Jennings opened training camp on the sidelines with an undisclosed injury but appears to be all set to return to the practice field now. The running back has an uphill battle to crack the Patriots' active roster in 2024, so he'll look to make up for the lost time in the coming days.
The Patriots placed Jennings on the Physically active/PUP list Friday with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jennings landed in New England as an undrafted free agent in May, and it looks like he picked up an injury somewhere along the way. He will be eligible to come off the PUP list once his health allows. Once he does that, the rookie will compete for a depth role in New England's backfield.
