Dude, the hits just keep coming for the Patriots. With their ground game already trying to find its rhythm, the news dropped that TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks after picking up a high ankle sprain. That’s a huge blow, and it immediately sent the team scrambling, leading them to bring a familiar face back into the fold: running back Hassan Haskins, who just signed onto the practice squad on Tuesday. They also snagged cornerback D’Shawn Jamison. Talk about trying to patch things up mid-season.
Haskins Back in the Mix, Hoping to Spark That Ground Game
Okay, so getting Haskins back is a clear move to shore up that running back room. The dude’s only 26 and he’s seen this facility before, even working out and signing at Gillette Stadium before the 2026 preseason opener. He was a vested veteran, but got released at the 53-man roster deadline. After a couple weeks on the practice squad in September, he’s been a free agent until now. This isn’t some fresh face, you know? Haskins, at 6-foot-2, 228 pounds, was a fourth-round pick back in 2022 by the Titans, then had a stop with the Chargers. He’s got 44 career games under his belt, tallying 76 carries for 229 yards, 18 catches for 119 yards, and three touchdowns. Plus, he’s got one start to his name. The guy’s got special teams experience too, clocking 683 snaps there compared to 371 on offense. Right now, he’s the fourth healthy back behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson, trade acquisition Corey Kiner, and scout-teamer Lan Larison. They’re clearly hoping the former first-team All-Big Ten pick from Michigan can pick up the slack while Henderson is sidelined.
Jamison Adds Depth to the Secondary as Ramirez Is Out
On the defensive side, the Patriots are trying to bolster their secondary, adding D’Shawn Jamison to the practice squad. This 27-year-old cornerback is 5-foot-9, 185 pounds, and went undrafted back in 2023. He’s bounced around, with initial tours with the 49ers, Panthers, and Steelers before spending the first month of this 2026 campaign on the Cardinals’ practice squad. Jamison joins Al’zillion Hamilton as the second cornerback on the Patriots’ practice squad, especially after veteran Kindle Vildor got promoted. In his 18 career games, Jamison has racked up 10 tackles, one pass deflection, and one start, logging 107 snaps on defense and 166 on special teams, including three kickoff returns. To make room for these guys, the Patriots released outside linebacker Jose Ramirez. Ramirez, also 27, had just re-signed to the practice squad last week, but got waived after a brief stint where he was called up to the 53-man roster for three weeks, recording one solo tackle in two games. It’s a tough business, man, always shuffling the deck.
Alright, so that’s the latest from Foxborough. But speaking of tough breaks and teams battling, how about our guys? We just saw the Hawks put up a heck of a fight against the Niners, but came up short, 32-29. A nail-biter that stings, you know? You can bet Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury are already grinding on what’s next. We gotta see the Emerald City come out strong and rally behind the team for the next one. Every single game counts, and the 12s are ready to roar!
