The New England Patriots are bringing in a running back known around the team.
New England announced Monday, Nov. 2, that it signed Terrell Jennings to the practice squad, giving the 25-year-old an opening with the organization that brought him into the NFL.
The 6-foot, 222-pound back returns after being placed on injured reserve Aug. 13 and released from that list two days later. His departure came through an injury settlement.
Jennings' signing follows a recent backfield move, with the Patriots promoting Lan Larison to their 53-man roster before Sunday's victory over the Miami Dolphins.

Jennings' return had been in the cards for several weeks.
As Pats Pulpit's Oliver Thomas noted Oct. 16 , New England worked out Jennings alongside fellow running backs Ulysses Bentley IV and Josh Pitsenberger .
Thomas cited the Boston Herald 's Doug Kyed in reporting that Jennings' injury settlement ran through the sixth week of the regular season before he would become eligible to re-sign with the Patriots.
Monday's announcement completed that reunion.
Jennings originally joined New England as an undrafted free agent from Florida A&M in 2024. He spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad before receiving opportunities on the active roster.
He went on a similar path in 2025, beginning on the practice squad before earning three elevations and a promotion to the 53-man roster in late October.
According to the team's announcement , Jennings has appeared in 10 career games, rushing 36 times for 106 yards and one touchdown. He also has one reception for 9 yards and two kickoff returns for 59 yards.

Jennings' most productive NFL outing came against the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 2, 2025 — exactly one year before his latest signing.
Via his Patriots biography , he carried 11 times for 35 yards and scored his first NFL touchdown on a 3-yard run. He also caught his first NFL pass, a 9-yard completion from Drake Maye .
Jennings finished that season on injured reserve after appearing in seven games.
His return affords New England a back with experience in its offense as the team works through availability issues.
TreVeyon Henderson missed Sunday's 24-19 win over Miami because of an illness, as Patriots.com detailed in its game observations.
Jennings now gets his own opportunity to work toward another game-day role, beginning on the practice squad.
