With a 4-2 record through six games, it’s safe to say that a lot of things have gone right for the New England Patriots so far this year. One position group that has not managed to meet expectations to this point, though, has been the running back room.

Entering the season, the Patriots were expecting running back to be an area of strength for them. With Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson and Antonio Gibson leading the way, New England had a strong trio in place.

Instead, this has arguably been the worst position on the roster through six games. Stevenson’s fumbling...

The New England Patriots have elevated two players from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of Week 7’s battle with the Tennessee Titans.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, “CB Miles Battle and RB Terrell Jennings have been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. Battle provides depth at CB and special teams with CB Charles Woods (knee) ailing. Jennings slots as the third RB behind Rhamondre Stevenson/TreVeyon Henderson, and No. 2 KR.”

Battle, 25, brings an intriguing blend of size and athleticism to the Patriots’ secondary. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 197 pounds, Battle hails from Houston,...

Head coach Mike Vrabel’s roster traveled to Nashville with insurance in both backfields.

The New England Patriots elevated running back Terrell Jennings and defensive back Miles Battle from the practice squad on the eve of Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

Jennings, 24, recently reverted after serving as an elevation for what became a 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints. He now returns to an active depth chart led by starter Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson in the absence of veteran Antonio Gibson. The Florida A&M product’s 2025 debut brought seven snaps on special teams during kickoff and...

Insider Ian Rapoport revealed a lengthy list of “nuggets” and “trade buzz” on Saturday afternoon, leading up to the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline.

Among the pieces of news that Rapoport discussed was New England Patriots veteran defender Anfernee Jennings potentially being on the trade block.

“Patriots linebacker Anfernee Jennings, a starter the past two seasons, has been relegated to backup duties and teams in need of depth have mentioned his name as a possible trade candidate,” the longtime NFL media member wrote.

This isn’t the first time this year that Jennings’ name has been floated in trade rumors.

As the NFL’s Nov. 4 trade deadline approaches, the New England Patriots can go in a handful of different directions.

The Patriots should consider improving their offense, but according to Boston Sports Journal’s Greg A. Bedard, they don’t urgently need a receiver.

“Are you looking at this team and saying they’re one player away in their passing offense from being a contender?” Bedard said on Thursday. “I would say that’s the best part of the team right now with Drake Maye.”

Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte have led New England’s receiving corps, which has performed well. Together, they’ve notched up...

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown emerged as a potential target for the New England Patriots ahead of the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline.

However, Philadelphia doesn’t seem ready to move off its star receiver. The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported on Saturday that the Eagles have told teams, “We aren’t moving him now.”

Brown has barely contributed to Philadelphia’s offense this season, managing just 274 receiving yards and one touchdown over six games. Although he expressed frustration about his lack of production, it doesn’t seem logical for the Eagles to consider trading him.

Philadelphia is among the top teams in...

The NFL trade deadline is drawing nearer, and the New England Patriots could very well become active. They have expressed interest in several position groups so far.

Among them is cornerback, as reported by Josina Anderson of The Athletic.

The Patriots’ starting trio of Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones is among the best in the NFL. The depth behind them is a question mark, however.

Current CB4 Charles Woods is nursing a knee injury and questionable to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, while one-time starter Alex Austin has been relegated to emergency and special teams duty....

Welcome to the Patriots Prospect Preview, our annual series where we talk about the club’s future picks before literally anyone else! It’s time to switch things up for Week 8.

I’ve been tossing all sorts of names at you for the past few weeks, cycling through prospects who seem to fit the primary needs down at One Patriot Place — but we’ve neglected what seems to be the likeliest scenario once we approach draft season.

The New England Patriots are on track to be in a position where they can supplement their primary needs through free agency and focus on...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has quickly become one of the standout stories of the NFL season. In his second year, Maye has shown poise in the pocket, linking up with his top receivers, Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte.

However, the rest of the receiving corps produces significantly less output beyond these two, which poses challenges moving forward.

If the Patriots truly want to contend for the Super Bowl this season, they will likely need to trade for another receiver. Former NFL receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh believes that Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown would be a fantastic option.

“Ship him...

The New England Patriots can extend their three-game winning streak when playing the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. A favorable schedule gives them a chance to stockpile victories this fall.

ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives the Patriots a 66.0 percent probability to defeat Tennessee on the road in Week 7. Going even further, the forecasting model likes New England to keep rolling.

Fresh off their third win in a row, the New England Patriots will travel to Tennessee to take on their head coach’s former team. Mike Vrabel meeting the Titans for the first time since his departure during the 2024 offseason is one of the big stories of the week. So is his ex-club firing his successor just earlier this week.

So, what can be expected of the Titans now? In order to answer that and other questions about the team, we reached out to Jimmy Morris of Pats Pulpit’s sister site Music City Miracles, the SB Nation community for all...
