"Aaron Schatz, ESPN: "The Patriots have a good thing going and don't need to act desperately. But they will monitor the market in case a move makes sense, particularly at edge rusher and possibly an offensive skill position." It's hard to mess with things when they're going well, and right now New England sits at 6-2 atop the AFC East. ESPN gives them an 85.7% chance of making the playoffs, as they continue their relatively easy schedule against the 3-4 Atlanta Falcons this Sunday."
""Running back. A third back would be useful with Antonio Gibson (torn ACL) out for the season, particularly someone who could contribute as a receiver and in the return game." Tyler Sullivan, CBS Sports: Since Gibson's injury, Rhamondre Stevenson and Treveyon Henderson have carried the workload. However, their run game has been underwhelming, with the Patriots being 18th in the league in rush yards per game and 25th in yards per attempt. Could the solution be in house? On Wednesday, the Patriots elevated back Terrell Jennings to the 53-man roster and signed veteran D'Ernest Johnson to the practice squad."
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. New England traded safety Kyle Dugger to Pittsburgh and defensive end Keion White to San Francisco. The Patriots sit 6-2 atop the AFC East with an 85.7% playoff probability. Team decision-makers will monitor the market for an edge rusher or an offensive skill addition. A third running back is a priority after Antonio Gibson tore his ACL, preferably with receiving and return ability. Rhamondre Stevenson and Treveyon Henderson have handled carries while the run game ranks 18th in rush yards per game and 25th in yards per attempt. The team elevated Terrell Jennings to the 53-man roster and added D'Ernest Johnson to the practice squad; Jerome Ford is cited as a realistic target.
