Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Elevated again for Week 8
RotowireThePatriots elevatedJennings from their practice squad Saturday.
Jennings was also elevated each of the past two weeks. He played exclusive on special teams in Week 6 against New Orleans before logging eight offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps last Sunday versus Tennessee, carrying five times for 18 yards. Jennings has now been elevated three times, so he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be eligible to suit up for the Patriots after this weekend.

RotowireWoodson (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.
Woodson logged a DNP on Wednesday before upgrading to limited and full, respectively, Thursday and Friday. Woodson has started all seven games at safety for thePatriots and has recorded 34 tackles (21 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery on 98 percent of the defensive snaps.

RotowireLandry (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.
Landry was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full Friday. He's started all seven games for New England, logging 27 tackles (15 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and 12 QB hits on 80 percent of the defensive snaps.

RotowireDiggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.
Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.

RotowireHead coach Mike Vrabel told reporters thatDugger (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Dugger likely sustained a knee injury at some point this week, as he popped up on New England's injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant. The 29-year-old started at strong safety in each of thePatriots' last two contests, recording five total tackles while Jaylinn Hawkins was sidelined with a hamstring injury. With Hawkins back to full health, Dugger is expected to operate as a reserve safety if available for Sunday's game.

RotowireDiggs (chest) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Diggs also had his reps capped Wednesday while he manages a chest issue, but thePatriots haven't suggested that his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns is in danger. New England will release its final Week 8 injury report Friday, when it will be known whether Diggs heads into Sunday with a designation or is fully cleared.

RotowireOffensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Thursday thatHenderson's reduced workload in thePatriots' Week 7 win over the Titans was "circumstantial," and the running back could see his snap count return to normal this Sunday against the Browns, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. "Runners get into a rhythm," McDaniels said, acknowledging that starter Rhamondre Stevenson's hot start in Sunday's game contributed to him garnering a larger share of the rushing load. "And sometimes that happens. I know TreVeyon has led us in carries in other games, and certainly Rhamondre did last week. So, there's nothing specific."
After a promising preseason, Henderson looked well on his way to being a major factor out of the New England backfield right away, if not unseating Stevenson as the team's top option. Instead, the rookie second-round pick's role had remained relatively static through the first six weeks, with Henderson's snap share ranging between 30 and 50 percent while he produced a 41-148-1 rushing line and 16-99-0 receiving line over that stretch. He then saw his playing time plunge significantly in Week 7, with Henderson's nine snaps representing a season-low total. In addition to averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, Henderson has drawn criticism for his pass blocking, but McDaniels suggested that the Patriots aren't yet ready to limit the rookie's opportunities on a more permanent basis. That said, with Stevenson representing the Patriots' clear No. 1 option at the moment, Henderson will be difficult to deploy with much confidence in weekly fantasy lineups until his touch counts pick up.
