FOXBOROUGH — For the first time this season, a large group of reporters circled around Terrell Jennings’s locker to talk with the 24-year-old practice squad running back.
Antonio Gibson, whose locker is directly next to Jennings’s, had gone down with a season-ending ACL surgery. With the Patriots suddenly in need of a third running back, promoting Jennings could be a consideration.
“Me and Antonio are actually really close,” Jennings said. “That’s my locker buddy as well. So, he told me ‘it’s your time, it’s time to go.’ I took that hard because that’s my brother.
