The New England Patriots released running back Elijah Mitchell, who joined the team late last season but did not play in games. This move comes as the Patriots adjust their roster, bringing in two rookies and leaving three open spots ahead of rookie minicamp.
The Patriots experienced some turnover at their running back position over the last week. Besides releasing Mitchell, it also brought in two rookies: seventh-round draft pick Jam Miller and undrafted free agent Myles Montgomery. All that movement has left the teamâs depth chart six players deep:
The Patriots released Elijah Mitchell to make room for younger players and adjust their running back depth chart after a series of roster changes.
Mitchell's release added $70,000 to the Patriots' available salary cap, as his previous cap hit was replaced by a lower salary from kicker Andy Borregales.
After Mitchell's release, the Patriots' running back roster includes Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison, Jam Miller, and Myles Montgomery.
The Patriots have three open roster spots and will evaluate potential signings during their rookie minicamp on May 8-10, where eight reported tryout players will participate.

**Running back (6):** Rhamondre Stevenson (38), TreVeyon Henderson (32), Terrell Jennings (26), Lan Larison (34), Jam Miller\* (â), Myles Montgomery° (â) Out of those six running backs, Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are the only roster locks. Unless there are further additions in the pipeline, this means that the other four â Jennings, Larison, Miller, Montgomery â will spend the summer competing for what is unlikely to be more than one or two spots on the depth chart.
A sixth-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2021, Mitchell is a veteran of five NFL seasons and 36 combined regular season and playoff games. This made him the second most-experienced running back on the Patriotsâ roster behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Based on his experience, he could have been in a good position to compete for the third spot behind Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. However, it seems clear that the Patriots are willing to give their younger players a shot at earning practice reps, preseason playing time and by extension those aforementioned backup spots on the roster. Whether they will capitalize on the opportunity remains to be seen, though.
With Michell joining the aforementioned John Jiles and Marshall Lang on the train out of town, the Patriots now have 88 players under contract and three open roster spots available. As we mentioned previously, the team has 91 spots available because of German-born offensive tackle Lorenz Metz carrying a roster exemption due to his international status. How the Patriots will fill those spots is to be determined, but their rookie minicamp on May 8-10 might bring some clarity. At the moment, eight reported tryout players will participate. It would not be a surprise if one or more of them ended signing with the club.
Even though he spent parts of the 2025 season on the Patriotsâ practice squad and was retained on a one-year minimum deal in February, Mitchell was still among the 51 most-expensive players on the teamâs roster before his release. This mean, that his $1.075 million salary cap hit did count against the teamâs books even under the NFLâs Top 51 rule. As a consequence, his release did slightly alter New Englandâs cap: the team added $70,000 to its available capital. Those $70,000 come courtesy of kicker Andy Borregales, who moved into those top 51 and whose $1.005 salary replaces Mitchellâs.
