The New England Patriots have officially downgraded defensive tackle Joshua Farmer and running back Terrell Jennings to out for Sunday’s game, per @AdamSchefter. Neither player will be available for the team's upcoming contest following the Saturday roster update.
The loss of Farmer thins the Patriots' rotation on the interior defensive line, while the absence of Jennings impacts the team's depth in the backfield. Both players had been dealing with injuries throughout the week of practice, and the team opted to rule them out a day ahead of kickoff to finalize their active roster plans.
New England has not yet announced any corresponding roster moves or practice squad elevations to address the vacancies. The team is expected to rely on its remaining depth at both positions as they prepare for the weekend matchup. Further clarity on the specific nature of the injuries and expected recovery timelines may be provided by the team following the game.
