Overview
- Wednesday’s NFL transaction wire confirmed Jennings was not added to the 53-man roster, which ends his season.
- Jennings sustained a Dec. 1 concussion, returned to practice on Jan. 14 to start the clock, then dealt with a playoff hamstring issue.
- Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson are set to lead New England’s backfield for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.
- ESPN’s Mike Reiss reports practice-squad veteran D’Ernest Johnson will be elevated to serve as the third running back.
- Rookie defensive tackle Joshua Farmer remains eligible for activation before the game, a move that would require a corresponding roster change.
