ANFERNEE JENNINGS NEWS

Opens week with limited work Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact The 27-year-old linebacker from Alabama appears to have picked up a knee injury in the Week 11 loss to the Rams, despite playing 100 percent of New England's defensive snaps and recording two total tackles. Jennings' participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 12, when the Patriots travel to Miami.

Good to go vs. Gang Green Jennings (shoulder/knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Jennings was limited to start the week due to shoulder and knee injuries, which he has played through for much of the season. He won't be 100 percent healthy, but the 2020 third-round pick will nonetheless suit up for Sunday's AFC East clash. Jennings has accrued 20 tackles (12 solo), including 0.5 sacks, over his last three regular-season games.

Still tending to injury Jennings (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Jennings was limited early in the practice week leading up to Week 2's loss to the Seahawks. However, he ultimately suited up and compiled eight total tackles in the process. Unless he aggravated the injury, he'll likely be good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Jets, but his practice status over the next couple of days will likely be worth monitoring for assurance.

Set to suit up Sunday Jennings (wrist/knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks.

Impact Jennings began the week with a pair of limited practice sessions due to a wrist issue and a knee injury, but he upgraded to full participation Friday. He's thus in line to play against Seattle on Sunday after notching one tackle while logging 56 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Week 1 against Cincinnati.
