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.

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.

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.

Limited in Thursday's practice
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.

Still dealing with injury
Jennings (shoulder) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
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.

Not suiting up
Jennings (shoulder) is inactive Sunday against the 49ers.
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.

Re-ups with Patriots
Jennings has agreed to a three-year contract with the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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.

Career year as rookie contract ends
Jennings tallied 66 tackles (49 solo), 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery across 15 regular-season appearances with the Patriots in 2023.
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.

Gets after QB in Week 12 defeat
Jennings posted four tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Jennings came into the contest without any sacks this season, but he took advantage of a porous New York offensive line to record a full sack in the third quarter and a half-sack in the fourth. The 26-year-old has seen an increased role in his third NFL campaign, and he's already set career-high marks with 394 defensive snaps and 39 total tackles through nine contests.

Participating in offseason workouts
Jennings (undisclosed) participated in OTAs and minicamp after spending the entire 2021 campaign on injured reserve, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
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. However, he appears healthy this offseason and will likely compete for a sizable role in 2022 after New England lost Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy.
