Patriots hold tryouts for three running backs as injuries mount

The New England Patriots hosted three free agent running backs for tryouts on October 16, 2026, as they prepare for their Week 6 game. Ulysses Bentley, Terrell Jennings, and Josh Pitsenberger were brought in amid concerns over injuries in the backfield, particularly with TreVeyon Henderson potentially sidelined. Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner remain on the roster but have struggled with fumbles. The tryouts indicate the team's need for depth at the position, especially with Henderson’s availability for the upcoming matchup against the New York Jets in question. The Patriots are looking to secure a third consecutive win in this crucial divisional game.
