The New England Patriots decided to bolster their depth for their upcoming Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints. As was announced by the team on Saturday, running back Terrell Jennings and outside linebacker Truman Jones were both elevated from the practice squad to the game day roster.
Jennings, 24, first arrived in New England as a rookie free agent out of Florida A&M last offseason. The 6-foot, 217-pound runner spent the majority of his first season in the NFL on the Patriots’ practice squad, before being promoted to the 53-man roster. In total, he appeared in three games...
The New England Patriots will travel to New Orleans this weekend to take on the Saints in hopes of improving to 4-2 on the year. While the two teams do not have an extensive history, their games used to feature two of the all-time greats at quarterback: Tom Brady, the undisputed GOAT at the position, as well as fellow future Hall of Famer Drew Brees.
Has Brees done enough to be in the conversation for the second greatest QB of all time? That is the subject of this week’s Pats Pulpit Debates question:
Who is the second greatest quarterback of...

The preaching out of Gillette Stadium this week has been clear as day: thou shall not underestimate the Saints.
Even though the New England Patriots are entering Week 6 off back-to-back wins, including last Sunday’s primetime takedown of the then-unbeaten Bills in Buffalo, they are making sure not to take their one-win opponent lightly. That being said, they are favorites for a reason.
Besides the difference in record, the Patriots as a whole have simply performed better than the Saints. Yes, they are coming off a win themselves — a 26-14 victory over the New York Giants — but they...
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and wide receiver Stefon Diggs are quickly establishing themselves as one of the top QB-WR combinations in the NFL.
It appears that Maye and Diggs have built a solid bond over the past five games. Diggs expressed his enthusiasm about playing alongside his 23-year-old quarterback.
“He’s a good kid,” Diggs told Patriots.com’s Steve Burton on Friday, via Carlos A. Lopez. “Tremendous football player. He gives you something to get excited about. I get excited when I watch him. To be a part of something so special, it just seems like it’s going in the...
The New England Patriots have won each of their past two games against the Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills to push their record to 3-2 on the season. A key difference for the Pats in each of these wins has been the presence of superstar cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
After earning a spot on the All-Pro Second Team last season, Gonzalez missed the first three games of the year due to a hamstring injury. During his absence, the Patriots struggled to hold up against the pass, as they were forced to play more zone coverage without him.
Since returning, Gonzalez has...
The New England Patriots picked up one of the most important victories in recent memory in Week 5 when they handed the Buffalo Bills a 23-20 defeat on Sunday Night Football. In a game full of standout performances, though, it was veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs who stood out the most.
Going up against his old team, Diggs was unstoppable, catching 10 passes for 146 yards. Every time Drake Maye needed to make a big completion in the air, he looked Diggs’ way, and he delivered the goods time and again.
Diggs’ performance has not gone unnoticed, as many folks...
A former New England Patriots mainstay celebrated the organization finding a new face of the franchise.
Drake Maye delivered in primetime, leading the Patriots to a 23-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Like many Patriots fans, Devin McCourty loved what he saw from the second-year quarterback.
The former Pro Bowl defensive back, who played his entire 13-year career in New England, applauded Maye on “The Rich Eisen Show.”
“It’s a beautiful thing when you can feel like in your locker room you have the guy that can lead you,” McCourty told guest host Tom Pelissero on Friday. “And I think,...
The New England Patriots may have finalized a 53-man roster out of training camp, but that team was not set in stone. By Week 1, there had already been several moves — a trend that only continued since and will do so through the rest of the season.
In order to stay on top of all the news and movement, here is our up-to-date breakdown of the the Patriots’ roster, practice squad and injury lists for this season.
Quarterback (3): Drake Maye (10), Joshua Dobbs (11), Tommy DeVito (16)
Running back (3): Rhamondre Stevenson...
What was imminent became official in Foxborough on Friday.
The New England Patriots placed running back Antonio Gibson on injured reserve ahead of the Week 6 road trip.
Gibson, 27, sustained a season-ending torn ACL on a kickoff return last Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. Following the 23-20 win at Highmark Stadium, the veteran continued to reside on the 53-man roster. He was listed as a non-participant for three consecutive practices before being ruled out on the final injury report.
Signing as a free agent from the Washington Commanders in 2024, Gibson stands 22 appearances into his stay. It...
The New England Patriots grinded out a huge 23-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, and it’s safe to say this was the most important win for the team in recent memory. It did come at a cost, though, and in this case, that cost was running back Antonio Gibson.
On a kickoff return early in the second quarter, Gibson was upended by Cam Lewis, and he ended up fumbling the football on the play, which fellow running back TreVeyon Henderson managed to recover. On the play, though, Gibson suffered a knee injury, and he was quickly ruled...
The New England Patriots will likely rely more on running back Rhamondre Stevenson now that a torn ACL will sideline backup running back Antonio Gibson for the season.
Stevenson will probably need to take on a larger role in the offense, and the team may also consider using him as a kick returner — a role that Gibson has filled for most of his NFL career.
Reporters asked head coach Mike Vrabel on Friday whether Stevenson might continue to step in for Gibson during kick returns.
“We’ll see where it goes on Sunday, Vrabel said, via 98.5 The Sports Hub’s...
