News

  • Healthy scratch

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Will suit up at Tennessee

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Still can't practice Wednesday

    Jennings (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Jennings (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick from Alabama downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined for Week 6. Jennings has played 130 total snaps (65 on defense, 65 on special teams) through four appearances this season, recording seven total tackles. While he's out Sunday, Elijah Ponder could see increased defensive work as a reserve outside linebacker.

  • Sets career highs in 2024

    Jennings played in 16 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 78 tackles (43 solo), including 2.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

    Analysis: Jennings started in all 16 games he appeared in during the 2024 season, playing at least 40 snaps in 14 of those contests while setting career highs in combined tackles and sacks. The 2020 third-round pick enters the offseason as a restricted free agent, which gives the Patriots the right to match any offer that another team puts in front of Jennings.

  • Active for Week 18

    Jennings (knee) is active for Sunday's regular-season finale against Buffalo.

    Analysis: A lingering knee injury limited Jennings in practice all week, but the 2020 third-round pick will suit up Sunday. Through 15 regular-season games, Jennings has posted career bests in combined tackles (72) and sacks (2.5).

  • Questionable for Week 18

    Jennings (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jennings got in a week of limited practices and has previously dealt with knee issues this season, though he hasn't missed a game since Week 4. Through 15 appearances, Jennings has recorded 72 tackles (40 solo), including six TFLs and 2.5 sacks, eight QB hits and one forced fumble as an every-week starter off the edge for New England.

  • Logs seven tackles in loss

    Jennings logged seven tackles (two solo) during the Patriots loss to the Cardinals Sunday.

    Analysis: Jennings recorded seven or more tackles in a game for the fourth time this season across 13 games played. The 27-year-old will look to keep producing and add to his totals during the team's upcoming Week 16 matchup against Buffalo.

  • Active Sunday

    Jennings (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Jennings (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jennings practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week after likely picking up a knee injury in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. The 27-year-old has posted 50 total tackles through 10 appearances this season, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 12, Titus Leo could see additional work in New England's linebacker corps.

  • Opens week with limited work

    Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old linebacker from Alabama appears to have picked up a knee injury in the Week 11 loss to the Rams, despite playing 100 percent of New England's defensive snaps and recording two total tackles. Jennings' participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 12, when the Patriots travel to Miami.

  • Posts two sacks in win

    Jennings recorded four solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Jennings was one of seven Patriots defenders to sack Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams. The 2020 third-round pick now has a career-high 2.5 sacks through nine games, but as a linebacker with 5.3 tackles per game, he has a low floor for fantasy purposes.

  • Plays 72 snaps vs. Tennessee

    Jennings logged five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Jennings played a season-high 72 defensive snaps Sunday. The 2020 third-round pick has logged at least five combined tackles in each of his last seven games, and for the season, he's up to 44 tackles (27 solo), including 0.5 sacks, across eight regular-season contests.

  • Good to go vs. Gang Green

    Jennings (shoulder/knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Jennings was limited to start the week due to shoulder and knee injuries, which he has played through for much of the season. He won't be 100 percent healthy, but the 2020 third-round pick will nonetheless suit up for Sunday's AFC East clash. Jennings has accrued 20 tackles (12 solo), including 0.5 sacks, over his last three regular-season games.

    Jennings (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on the Patriots' injury report Thursday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jennings has been playing through a shoulder injury since Week 5 against the Dolphins. He opened up the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but his ability to see the field Thursday indicates he's trending towards being available for Sunday's game against the Jets. Jennings has registered 34 tackles (20 solo), including 0.5 sacks, across six regular-season games.

  • Still hampered by injury

    Jennings (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jennings has been dealing with the shoulder injury for several weeks now and has been playing through it, aside from missing Week 4 against the 49ers. Assuming he did not aggravate the injury Sunday against the Jaguars, it's likely the Alabama product will be available Week 9 against the Jets.

  • Busy as tackler again Sunday

    Jennings recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 32-16 loss against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jennings has now tallied at least five tackles in each of his last five games, an impressive feat for a linebacker who lines up on the ball as often as he does. He's on the fringe of the IDP radar going into a Week 8 tilt versus the Jets.

  • Set to play Sunday

    Jennings (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Though he practiced fully this past week, Jennings was still listed as questionable for the contest. With his active status versus the Texans confirmed, Jennings should maintain his key role in the Patriots' defense in Week 6. Through four contests this season, Jennings has recorded 22 tackles and 0.5 sacks.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Jennings (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite a full week of practice, Jennings is still listed as questionable. The Alabama product has recorded 22 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across four games this season. If he's unable to suit up in Week 6, expect Curtis Jacobs or Christian Elliss to serve as the Patriots' top left outside linebacker.

  • Suiting up

    Analysis: Jennings will return after missing last Sunday's loss to the 49ers. His ability to play should be a boon for the Patriots' linebacker corps in Week 5.

    Analysis: Jennings missed the team's loss to the 49ers on Sunday due to the injury and is still not back to full health. His ability to get on the practice field is at least a sign of progress for the Alabama product. He'll try and ramp up his practice activity Thursday, ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jennings was previously dealing with a knee injury but had managed to play through it. However, he'll now miss his first game of the season due to a shoulder injury. In his absence, Christian Elliss and Curtis Jacobs could see extra opportunities at linebacker.

  • Cleared to play

    Jennings (knee) was absent from the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jennings was listed as a limited participant Monday as he continues to work through a knee injury that also had him limited through Week 2 prep. However, he was ultimately able to play against Seattle. The Alabama product underwent a similar trajectory this week, as his removal from the report suggests he should be a full go for Thursday's game against the Jets.

  • Still tending to injury

    Jennings (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Jennings was limited early in the practice week leading up to Week 2's overtime loss to the Seahawks. However, he ultimately suited up and compiled eight total tackles in the process. Unless he aggravated the injury, he'll likely be good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Jets, but his practice status over the next couple of days will likely be worth monitoring for assurance.

  • Set to suit up Sunday

    Jennings (wrist/knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Jennings began the week with a pair of limited practice sessions due to a wrist issue and a knee injury, but he upgraded to al activity Friday. He's thus in line to play Sunday after notching one tackle while logging 56 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Week 1 against Cincinnati.

  • Limited at practice

    Jennings (knee) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jennings recorded a solo tackle in the team's 16-10 win over the Bengals in Week 1, but he appears to have left the contest a little worse for wear. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks at home.

    Analysis: Jennings will remain in New England, where the 2020 third-round draft pick has spent his entire career up to this point. He posted 66 tackles (49 solo) across 15 appearances (14 starts) in 2023, but it remains to be seen if the linebacker will hold onto a starting role in 2024 under New England's new coaching staff.

    Analysis: Jennings put up career-best numbers across the board in the final year of his rookie deal. A 2020 third-round pick, Jennings logged a new high with 649 defensive snaps in 2023, compared to his previous best of 337 in 2022. Heading into his age-27 season, Jennings will search for another opportunity as a rotational linebacker in free agency if the Patriots don't opt to retain him.

    Analysis: Jennings recorded 14 appearances as a rookie and notched 20 tackles and one quarterback hit. The 2020 third-round pick started the 2021 campaign on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury and was never activated.
