Raiders agreed to terms with RB Rashad Jennings, formerly of the Jaguars.
Once viewed as a promising backup, 28-year-old Jennings was a total flop while filling in for injured Maurice Jones-Drew in 2012. He started six games before being benched for ineffectiveness, returning to the lineup and then suffering a shoulder injury and concussion late in the year. Jennings will compete with Marcel Reece and Jeremy Stewart to back up Darren McFadden. Apr 10 - 8:39 PM

Rashad Jennings - RB - Raiders

Free agent RB Rashad Jennings worked out for the Raiders on Wednesday.

Once considered a starting-caliber back behind Maurice Jones-Drew, Jennings flopped in his opportunity to showcase his skills as a featured back. He averaged just 2.80 yards per carry and showed an inability to stay healthy in 2012. He adds to the list of players whose careers are trending in the wrong direction being considered by Reggie McKenzie. Former Bengal Bernard Scott also worked out for the team.

Rashad Jennings - RB - Raiders

Jaguars placed RB Rashad Jennings (shoulder, concussion) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Jennings had apparently recovered from the concussion, but the shoulder injury would have sidelined him for Week 17. After averaging over 5.0 yards per carry his first two seasons, Jennings flopped spectacularly in Jacksonville's featured back role in 2012. He averaged 2.80 yards per tote and couldn't hold up physically. Jennings will be an underwhelming pickup in 2013 free agency.

Rashad Jennings has passed his concussion test but is now dealing with a shoulder injury.

Jennings hasn't practiced since taking a shot to the head in Week 13, so it's unclear if when he sustained this shoulder damage. Regardless, it doesn't sound like he's going to play in the season finale. Montell Owens impressed with 119 total yards on 14 touches against the Patriots Sunday.

Rashad Jennings (concussion) was held out of practice on Thursday.

Jennings failed his concussion test early in the week, leaving him doubtful for Week 16 versus the Patriots. Look for Montell Owens to carry the load again.

Rashad Jennings failed his concussion test Tuesday.

Jennings can now be considered doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots. Maurice Jones-Drew will do some full-speed running Wednesday, but he's not expected to be ready to play either. That leaves Montell Owens as the starter and workhorse again. He had 11 carries for 47 yards and no touchdowns against the Dolphins last week.

Rashad Jennings will take a concussion test Tuesday.

Jennings has been out since Week 13. He'll have to pass his baseline test Tuesday in order to return to practice and then get cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday. If active, Jennings figures to share the workload with Montell Owens. The Jags' backfield will be "hands off" in fantasy with the Patriots coming to town.

Rashad Jennings has not passed his concussion tests.

Jennings sustained his concussion during Week 13 and still does not appear close to a return. With Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) almost certainly out again and Jalen Parmele (groin) on injured reserve, Montell Owens will make another start against the Dolphins. Despite missing time while cramping, he rushed 14 times for 91 yards with a touchdown last week.

Rashad Jennings (concussion) was ruled out for Week 14 after missing Friday's practice.

Jennings is even further behind than Cecil Shorts, who also sat out Friday. Expect plodding Montell Owens to handle the bulk of the carries versus the Jets in Week 14. Jennings and Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) are no locks to return for next week at Miami.

Rashad Jennings (concussion) did not practice Thursday.

At this point, it would be a shock if Jennings suits up Sunday. The Jags are preparing to start Montell Owens and use Richard Murphy/Jordan Todman in support.

Rashad Jennings (concussion) has not passed his concussion tests yet.

Jennings appears to be behind Cecil Shorts, who passed his tests but is still feeling symptoms. The Jags are likely to start Montell Owens at running back on Sunday and use Richard Murphy in support.

Rashad Jennings - RB - Raiders

Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey confirmed Rashad Jennings sustained a concussion during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Bills.

Jennings' nightmare season continues as he was forced out of this one in the second quarter after managing 20 yards on eight carries. He's now averaging 2.80 yards per carry and wouldn't be sniffing the field if Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) or Jalen Parmele (groin) were available. Montell Owens stepped in as a feature back after Jennings left, compiling 29 yards on seven carries and one catch for 11 yards.

Rashad Jennings is done for the day after sustaining a head injury in the second quarter of Sunday's Week 13 game at Buffalo.

Jennings took a helmet to his knee and thigh area but landed hard on his head at the end of his longest run of the day. It appears to be a concussion. Special teamer Montell Owens has come on as his replacement. Richard Murphy was just promoted from the practice squad to act as the third-string tailback. Jennings had just 20 yards on eight carries before the injury.

Rashad Jennings - RB - Raiders

Coach Mike Mularkey said Rashad Jennings will start Sunday's game against the Bills, but he plans on using a rotation at running back.

The Jags don't really want to hand the keys back to Jennings, who started five games earlier this year before losing his job to Jalen Parmele. The problem is that the only other healthy running backs on the roster are fullback-type Montell Owens and newly signed Jordan Todman. Mularkey has no choice but to start Jennings, who has somehow managed just 2.82 YPC on his 93 totes this season. He'll be on a short leash in Buffalo.
