Overview

  • Team officials confirmed Gibson tore his ACL in the Week 5 win over the Bills, ending his season and removing the Patriots’ primary kickoff returner.
  • New England added running back Jashaun Corbin to the practice squad on Tuesday and released offensive lineman Royce Newman to create space.
  • Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson are the only running backs on the 53-man roster, with Jennings and Corbin available for up to three game-day elevations under NFL rules.
  • The Patriots hosted workouts for Deon Jackson, Damien Martinez and Corbin before signing Corbin, and Vrabel said the team will consider further help at running back or other positions.
  • Jennings said he is ready if called up and noted he can contribute on special teams, aligning with Vrabel’s praise of his toughness and improvement.
