Elgton

Jenkins

Jenkins suffered a fracture in his leg in Week 10. He isn’t officially out for the year, but all signs point to him missing the remainder of the season. Sean Rhyam will take his spot in the lineup going forward.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur is on record saying that the injury “doesn’t sound promising.” Jenkins sounds like a candidate to spend some time on injured reserve. Sean Rhyan replaced Jenkins at center and figures to be the replacement in the short term.

Watson promisingly posted a video of himself running routes on June 20th, though his current sidelining suggests he still has a ways to go in his recovery. The veteran wide receiver suffered an ACL tear in Week 18 last year. Historically, 10-12 months of rehab are required before players retake the field. The Packers also placed LB Quay Walker on the active/PUP list and OL Elgton Jenkins on the non-football injury list.

Jenkins is being moved to center ahead of the 2025 season. He is a left guard by trade but has also spent time at both tackle spots during his six years in Green Bay. The Packers signed him to a four-year, $68 million extension in 2022 that runs through 2026. The deal initially made him a highly-paid guard. It now has him as one of the league’s most expensive centers. The Packers could save $20 million by cutting Jenkins next offseason, something they would likely do unless Jenkins is immediately one of the league’s best centers. Jenkins, in turn, is almost certainly looking to up his guarantees on the final two years of the contract. Though, as Demovsky points out, the Packers rarely adjust contracts this far from their expiration, Jenkins could be the exception to the rule.

Channel 3000’s Jason Wilde, a long-time Packers beat, cites a league source as saying Jenkins wants a reworked contract as compensation for being moved to center this offseason. Jenkins has no guaranteed money remaining on a four-year, $68 million extension signed prior to the 2022 season. This will be his age-30 season, as to this point he’s authored a stellar career spent only with the Packers.

Jenkins suffered a stinger. Should the Packers advance to the Divisional Round, he’ll likely spend time on the injury report. Green Bay’s backup guard play has been a big reason the Packers found themselves in a 10-0 hole against the Eagles at halftime.

Bakhtiari will miss his third straight game after tweaking his knee in Week 1. Fellow offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins is also out for Week 4. The Packers will face Aidan Hutchinson, who leads the NFL in pressures, while down multiple starting linemen on Thursday.

Fellow offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins was ruled out. Bakhtiari did not practice at all this week, but the veteran left tackle could still play. He missed last week with his knee injury and has dealt with various knee issues since suffering a torn ACL in 2020. Last week, Yosh Nijman and Rasheed Walker both saw reps at left tackle.

Jenkins, one of Green Bay’s starting guards, left in the first half of the Packers’ game against the Falcons. Jenkins headed to the locker room after his injury and was officially ruled out by the team after halftime. The Packers are already without David Bakhtiari and now have another starting offensive lineman out in Week 2.

As is LT David Bakhtiari, Allen Lazard, and Christian Watson, all of whom entered the weekend as questionable. With these four ready to go, Aaron Rodgers is in as good a spot as possible going up against a beatable Lions defense.
