The Indianapolis Colts have faced a series of injuries affecting their running backs, prompting the New England Patriots to work out three additional running backs in an effort to bolster their roster. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Patriots attempted workouts with Ulysses Bentley, Terrell Jennings, and Josh Pitsenbeger.
Bentley, who played only one game last season with the Colts, logged no rushing yards. Jennings, a former Patriot, contributed 106 yards on 36 attempts last season, including a touchdown. Pitsenbeger, signed as an undrafted free agent from Yale in May, is known for his versatility. As the Patriots prepare for their Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium, they aim to secure their fourth victory of the 2026 NFL season.
Quarterback Drake Maye and running back Rhamondre Stevenson have both played key roles, with Maye throwing for 374 yards and Stevenson rushing for 64 yards in their last game. Should TreyVeyon Henderson, sidelined with a high ankle sprain, not recover in time, the Patriots may welcome new faces to the lineup.
