Jennings played in 16 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 78 tackles (43 solo), including 2.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble. Jennings started in all 16 games he appeared in during the 2024 season, playing at least 40 snaps in 14 of those contests while setting career highs in combined tackles and sacks.

Jennings (knee) is active for Sunday's regular-season finale against Buffalo. A lingering knee injury limited Jennings in practice all week, but the 2020 third-round pick will suit up Sunday. Through 15 regular-season games, Jennings has posted career bests in combined tackles (72) and sacks (2.5).
Jennings (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Jennings got in a week of limited practices and has previously dealt with knee issues this season, though he hasn't missed a game since Week 4. Through 15 appearances, Jennings has recorded 72 tackles (40 solo), including six TFLs and 2.5 sacks, eight QB hits and one forced fumble as an every-week starter off the edge for New England.
Jennings logged seven tackles (two solo) during the Patriots loss to the Cardinals Sunday. Jennings recorded seven or more tackles in a game for the fourth time this season across 13 games played. The 27-year-old will look to keep producing and add to his totals during the team's upcoming Week 16 matchup against Buffalo.
Jennings (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins. The outside linebacker was limited in practice all week after likely picking up the injury during the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. The fourth-year pro has 50 tackles (32 solo), including 2.5 sacks, in 10 games this season.
Jennings (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Jennings practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week after likely picking up a knee injury in the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. The 27-year-old has posted 50 total tackles through 10 appearances this season, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 12, Titus Leo could see additional work in New England's linebacker corps.
Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. 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.
Jennings recorded four solo tackles and 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears. Jennings was one of seven Patriots defenders to sack Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams. The 2020 third-round pick now has a career-high 2.5 sacks through nine games, but as a linebacker with 5.3 tackles per game, he has a low floor for fantasy purposes.
Jennings logged five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans. Jennings played a season-high 72 defensive snaps Sunday. The 2020 third-round pick has logged at least five combined tackles in each of his last seven games, and for the season, he's up to 44 tackles (27 solo), including 0.5 sacks, across eight regular-season contests.
