Overview
- Jennings has exhausted his three standard practice-squad elevations, and Vrabel called a move to the 53-man roster a procedural step by week’s end.
- Rookie TreVeyon Henderson posted a career-high 75 rushing yards on 10 carries against the Browns before a late goal-line fumble punctuated ongoing ball-security issues.
- Despite Henderson’s efficiency, Rhamondre Stevenson led usage with 74% of offensive snaps to Henderson’s 21% and Jennings’ 7%, reflecting continued trust in the veteran’s all-around role.
- New England logged a season-best 180 rushing yards versus Cleveland, leaning on perimeter runs that leveraged Henderson’s speed against a top-ranked run defense.
- The Patriots worked out veteran RB Jonathan Ward, who previously played for Vrabel in Tennessee, as the Titans signed edge rusher Truman Jones off New England’s practice squad.
