Teven Jenkins Injury News & Updates
Mar 21, 2025
Moving to Cleveland
The Browns and Jenkins (calf) agreed to a contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
A 2021 second-round pick of the Bears, Jenkins started 38 of 45 appearances across the first four seasons of his career, most of them split between both guard positions. Upon joining the Browns, he likely will compete with long-time left guard Joel Bitonio for the No. 1 spot due to the latter's decreased level of play over the last two years.
Jan 3, 2025
Out for Sunday
Jenkins (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins has yet to return to practice since sustaining a calf injury in the Bears' Week 16 loss to the Lions and is now set to miss his second game of the season in Week 18. Jake Curhan is likely to step in and serve as Chicago's top left guard while Jenkins is sidelined Sunday.
Dec 25, 2024
Won't play versus Seahawks
Jenkins (calf) will miss Chicago's game versus the Seahawks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins will miss his first game of the season after having been listed as a non-participant in in both practice sessions this week due to a calf injury. Matt Pryor will likely get the start in Jenkins' place during Thursday's matchup.
Dec 24, 2024
Estimated as DNP on Tuesday
Jenkins (calf) was listed as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins has been held out of the first two walkthroughs of the week due to a calf injury he picked up in the Bears' Week 16 loss to the Lions. Jake Curhan would likely start at left tackle if Jenkins isn't cleared to play against the Seahawks on Thursday.
Dec 22, 2024
Exits game due to calf injury
Jenkins (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jake Curhan will serve as the Bears' left guard for the rest of Sunday's game assuming Jenkins doesn't return.
Nov 21, 2024
Full practice Thursday
Jenkins (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins missed the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Patriots. His full practice Thursday indicates he should be good to go Sunday against the Vikings, and Jenkins could start at left guard if Ryan Bates is unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols.
Nov 18, 2024
Return on the horizon
Head coach Matt Eberflus stated Monday that he's optimistic Jenkins (ankle) can return this week, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins suffered the injury in Week 10 and missed the Bears' loss to the Packers on Sunday. A return for the starting left guard would be a boost to Chicago's offensive line when they host the Vikings on Sunday.
Nov 15, 2024
Won't play in Week 11
Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Bears' Week 10 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Ryan Bates to serve as Chicago's top left guard in Jenkins' stead in Week 11.
Nov 10, 2024
Done for remainder of Week 10
Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup versus New England.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was hurt in the first half, and he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His absence further depletes a Chicago offensive line that entered Sunday without both starting tackles -- Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright are both absent this week due to knee injuries. Jake Curhan will likely need to step up with Jenkins out for the remainder of Sunday's game.
Nov 10, 2024
Exits game with ankle injury
Jenkins (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Nate Davis (back) is inactive for Sunday's game, so while Jenkins is sidelined, Doug Kramer will come in at left guard, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
Nov 3, 2024
Active for Week 9
Jenkins (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was limited in practice Wednesday and Friday, but was DNP on Thursday and was given the questionable tag. He should start at left guard for the Bears.
Oct 27, 2024
Leaves game Sunday
Jenkins left Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders with a knee injury and did not return, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins started at left guard for the seventh time in seven games this season. He has started 31 of the 38 games he's played in since getting drafted in the second round in 2021. His backup, Bill Murray, also exited Sunday's game, with a chest injury, and did not return.
Oct 13, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Jenkins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
ANALYSIS
He never upgraded to full participation in practice this week while nursing the ankle injury, but Jenkins will be ready to reprise his usual duties as the Bears' starting left guard. Jenkins' availability is a positive development for starting running back D'Andre Swift, who has bounced back from a poor start to the season by amassing 285 yards from scrimmage over the past two weeks while running behind a healthy Chicago offensive line.
Oct 11, 2024
Questionable for Week 6
Jenkins (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday. However, he upgraded to limited work in Friday's practice, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 6. If Jenkins is unable to play through his ankle issue Sunday, expect Bill Murray to serve as the Bears' top left guard.
Oct 10, 2024
Gets downgraded
Jenkins (ankle) was a non-participant during practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins logged a limited practice Wednesday, suggesting he was on the road to recovery from the injury he suffered in Week 5 against the Panthers. However, his inability to get on the practice field Thursday suggests he may have aggravated the injury, or at least it didn't respond well to Wednesday's activity. His status for Friday's session will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Oct 6, 2024
Injures ankle versus Carolina
Jenkins exited Sunday's game against the Panthers with an ankle injury and will not return, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was injured in the first half. Bill Murray has come into the game to replace him at left guard.
Oct 6, 2024
Active for Week 5
Jenkins (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins left the Bears' Week 4 win over the Rams early and was questionable for Week 5. However, the 2021 second-round pick will shake off the injury designation and take his usual spot at left guard versus Carolina.
Oct 4, 2024
Could play in Week 5
Jenkins (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Friday that Jenkins has been progressing throughout the week, so it sounds as if he could be a game-time decision in Week 5, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. If Jenkins is unable to suit up in Week 5, expect Bill Murray to serve as the Bears' top left guard.
Oct 2, 2024
Missing Wednesday's Practice
Jenkins (ribs) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins left Sunday's win over the Rams due to a ribs injury, so it's no surprise that the 2021 second-round pick won't practice Wednesday. His participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 5, as the Bears host the Panthers.
Sep 29, 2024
Won't return vs. Rams
Jenkins (ribs) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jenkins out, the Bears will shift Matt Pryor to left guard while Nate Davis comes in at right guard. Clarity on the severity of Jenkins' rib injury should be known following the conclusion of Sunday's game.
Sep 29, 2024
Exits with injury
Jenkins (ribs) has left Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins' exit has caused Matt Pryor to slide over to left guard and Nate Davis to come in at right guard, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. The Oklahoma State product is questionable to return.
Sep 20, 2024
Ready to go Sunday
Jenkins (thigh) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
Despite missing practice Wednesday and being limited during Thursday's session, Jenkins was able to participate fully in practice Friday and will play in Week 3. He should resume his role as the starting left guard Sunday.
Sep 19, 2024
Returns to practice
Jenkins (thigh) was a limited participant during practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins didn't practice at all Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the Oklahoma State product, who is dealing with a deep thigh bruise. He'll likely try and ramp up his activity level during practice Friday, ahead of the Bears' Week 3 matchup with the Colts.
Sep 18, 2024
Misses Wednesday's practice
Jenkins didn't practice Wednesday after sustaining a deep thigh bruise during Sunday night's loss to the Texans, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters that he "feels good about" Jenkins' availability for Week 3's matchup with the Colts, despite his missed practice Wednesday, per Lieser. However, if Jenkins' deep thigh bruise is too much to overcome by Sunday, expect Bill Murray to get the nod at left guard.
Dec 22, 2023
Won't play versus Arizona
Jenkins (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was taken out of the Bears' Week 15 loss to the Browns after sustaining a concussion. Cody Whitehair took over at left guard for Jenkins and figures to do so again for Sunday's contest.
Dec 17, 2023
Won't return versus Cleveland
Jenkins (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
In addition to a concussion, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reported that Jenkins had his left arm "at a 90 degree angle" when he ran into Myles Garrett with his shoulder. Cody Whitehair will take over for Jenkins at left guard for the remainder of Sunday's contest.
Oct 5, 2023
Active for Thursday night
Jenkins (calf) is active for Thursday night's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
This will be Jenkins' season debut after spending the first four weeks on injured reserve. It's a big boost to an offensive line that has been one of the worst in football four games into the year. Jenkins should slide right back into a starting role.
Oct 5, 2023
Joins active roster
Jenkins (calf) was activated to the 53-man roster Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins returned to practice this week after missing the first four games of the season while on injured reserve. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jenkins will be active Thursday against the Commanders, although it's not clear what role he'll have, if any, on the Bears' offensive line.
Oct 2, 2023
Designated for return
Jenkins (calf) was designated to return from IR on Monday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins has missed the mandatory four games since being placed on injured reserve and he'll be able to return to play as soon as Thursday against the Commanders. However, that quick of a return is not guaranteed, and the team now has 21 days to add him to the 53-man roster. Once he proves he is healthy, he should take over as the team's starter at left guard.
Aug 30, 2023
Moved to IR
The Bears placed Jenkins (leg) on injured reserve Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Ryan Poles noted Wednesday that the injury is "a week-to-week thing." Jenkins is set to miss the first four games of the 2023 season as he recovers from his injury.
Aug 22, 2023
Week-to-week with leg injury
Head coach Matt Eberflus noted Tuesday that Jenkins is considered week-to-week dealing with a leg injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins participated in joint practices with the Colt last week but did not play in Saturday's preseason loss against Indianapolis. Alex Leatherwood and Ja'Tyre Carter are set to compete for the starting left guard spot should Jenkins miss the start of the 2023 season.
Aug 20, 2023
Dealing with leg injury
Jenkins is dealing with a leg injury that could force him to miss the start of the regular season, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins missed time earlier in camp but participated in joint practices with the Colts this week. However, he didn't suit up for Saturday's preseason loss to Indianapolis and is apparently dealing with a leg issue. He's been limited to just 19 games over his first two seasons in the NFL, and it seems as though he'll be held out to begin the 2023 campaign. If Jenkins is sidelined, Alex Leatherwood and Ja'Tyre Carter are candidates to start at left guard.
Jun 14, 2023
Returns to field
Jenkins (neck) was spotted participating during Chicago's minicamp Tuesday, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was placed on injured reserve ahead of the Bears' 2022 Week 18 game against the Vikings with a neck injury but has since had the offseason to move past the issue. The 2021 second-round pick has struggled to stay on the field, missing 11 games his rookie year and four this past season. Barring any setbacks, the Oklahoma State product projects to be the starting left guard for Chicago this upcoming season.
Jan 4, 2023
Moved to IR
Jenkins (neck) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins exited Sunday's loss to the Lions with the injury, and he was unable to return. His move to IR will end his season early, while opening up a potential roster spot for the team's Week 18 game against the Vikings.
Jan 1, 2023
Leaves with injury
Jenkins (neck) has exited Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins' absence will the leave the team down their starting right guard. He is considered doubtful to return, and Michael Schofield will likely replace him at the position.
Dec 28, 2022
Back in full Wednesday
Jenkins (neck) practiced fully Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins, who was sidelined during Chicago's loss to Buffalo on Saturday due to a neck issue, is now slated to reclaim his usual starting right guard position against Detroit in Week 17 following his return to Wednesday's session without any limitations.
Dec 24, 2022
Out Week 16
Jenkins (neck) is officially inactive for Saturday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins went to the hospital after suffering the neck injury last week versus the Eagles, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. The fact he was initially doubtful and not immediately ruled out is an encouraging sign he's avoided a serious injury. Fellow starting guard Cody Whitehair (knee) is also inactive, leaving Michael Schofield and Alex Leatherwood to likely step into starting roles Saturday.
Dec 22, 2022
Unlikely to play Saturday
Jenkins (neck) was listed as doubtful on the Bears' final injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was carted off with a brace on his neck after going down during Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The second-year offensive lineman was then limited during practice to begin Week 16 prep before logging back-to-back DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, so it's not surprising to see he'll likely sit out at least one game due to this injury. As a result, either Alex Leatherwood or Michael Schofield should be in line to start at right guard Saturday versus Buffalo.
Dec 18, 2022
Doing well after scary injury
Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Jenkins was transported to a local hospital after he was carted off with a neck injury during Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles, but that he received an encouraging evaluation on this injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The exact nature of Jenkins' injury is still unknown, though Eberflus added that "everything looks positive" with regards to the issue, according to Adam Jahns of The Athletic. It will be worth monitoring the right guard's status heading into Saturday's matchup against Buffalo. Jenkins has started 10 of his 12 games this season, so his potential absence would leave Chicago's already depleted offensive line even more undermanned moving forward.
Dec 18, 2022
Forced out Sunday
Jenkins was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Eagles with a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was attended to on the field for some time after going down in the first quarter, and he eventually had to be carted off to the locker room with his neck in a brace, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. In his stead, Michael Schofield has stepped in at right for Chicago, per Cronin. While the exact nature of this neck injury is still unclear, the serious manner of Jenkins' departure could indicate he'll be in jeopardy of missing this coming Saturday's contest against Buffalo as well.
Nov 23, 2022
Not listed on injury report
Jenkins isn't listed on the Bears' initial injury report for Week 12.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was deemed active for the team's Week 11 loss to Atlanta, but he ultimately never saw the field and was only available in an emergency situation. He logged a full practice last Friday as well, so while he appears to be healthy, it's unclear if he'll reclaim his starting spot during Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Nov 20, 2022
Still dealing with injury
Jenkins was only available in an emergency role as he continued to deal with a hip injury during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
While Jenkins was ruled active ahead of this contest, he doesn't appear to be fully past a hip issue that sidelined him for the first time this season Week 10. Nevertheless, his ability to suit up, even in an emergency capacity, is an encouraging sign for the second-year offensive lineman's availability heading into next Sunday's game against the Jets.
Nov 20, 2022
In line to start Sunday
Jenkins (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was sidelined during Chicago's Week 10 matchup versus the Lions due to a hip issue, but his ability to practice in full Friday puts him on track to start at right guard Sunday against Atlanta.
Nov 18, 2022
Questionable to play Sunday
Jenkins (hip) was a full participant in practice Friday and is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Falcons, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins missed his first game of the season last week against Detroit due to a hip injury. While he was able to log a full practice Friday, the 24-year-old is not a certainty to play Week 11, as Chicago coach Matt Eberflus said, "he's dealing with some things, right, but he's improving and we'll see where it goes this next 24 hours." If Jenkins is sidelined, expect Alex Leatherwood to fill in at right guard Sunday against Atlanta.
Nov 13, 2022
Isn't playing Sunday
Jenkins (hip) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins is now slated to miss his first game in 2022 due to a hip issue. In his absence, Alex Leatherwood should fill in as the Bears' starting right guard in Sunday's contest versus Detroit.
Aug 6, 2022
Returns to practice
Jenkins was spotted on the practice field for the first time since July 27, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bears are likely looking to trade the second-year offensive tackle amid reports of a disconnect between himself and the team, and Adam Jahns of The Athletic noted that, even though Jenkins returned to practice, he took no snaps during team drills. Braxton Jones and Riley Reiff will shoulder the load at left tackle should Jenkins depart before the season begins.
Aug 6, 2022
Continues to miss practice
Jenkins (undisclosed) has missed all but one practice in training camp, and it's unclear whether it's due to an injury, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Jenkins has spent time with trainers, a report that there's a disconnect between him and the coaching staff has surfaced. There are also two separate reports that the Bears are trying to trade him. In the meantime, rookie Braxton Jones has been seeing most of the reps at left tackle, where Jenkins was expected to play. Riley Reiff has also spent time practicing at both tackle spots. At this point, it's difficult to predict if Jenkins will be back at left tackle in the near future.
Dec 30, 2021
Full participant Wednesday
Jenkins (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins sustained a shoulder injury early in Sunday's win over Seattle but wasn't bothered by the issue ahead of Week 17. It appears likely that he'll be available Sunday against the Giants.
Dec 26, 2021
Deemed questionable to return
Jenkins (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins hurt the shoulder on Chicago's first drive of the contest. He has subsequently been replaced by fellow rookie Larry Borom, who is likely to stay in the game if Jenkins is unable to return.
Dec 4, 2021
Moves back to active roster
Jenkins (back) was activated from IR on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins underwent back surgery in August. He was selected in the second round of the 2021 Draft with expectations that he would earn a starting a job on the offensive line. Those plans had to to take a detour, but he can get those plans back on track starting Sunday against the Cardinals. He'll likely have to make his NFL debut in a reserve role though.
Nov 15, 2021
Returns to practice
Jenkins (back) will return to practice Monday.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins began the season on injured reserve after he underwent back surgery in mid-August, but he appears to be trending toward his 2021 debut. Now that he's been designated to return, the left tackle will need to be activated within 21 days if he hopes to return this year.
Sep 3, 2021
Moves to injured reserve
Jenkins (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins underwent back surgery a couple weeks ago and is unavailable for the start of the season, so it's not surprising to see him move to injured reserve. The rookie second-round pick will be eligible to be activated for Week 4, though he'll likely face a longer absence while recovering from the procedure.
Aug 21, 2021
Undergoes back surgery
Jenkins (back) has undergone successful surgery and the Bears hope he will be able to return sometime this season, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jenkins was expected to start at left tackle after being drafted 39th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, those plans have significantly changed once it was revealed he needed to undergo back surgery. His timeline for return remains very unclear, but he is at least expected to misss several weeks to start the year.
Aug 18, 2021
Needs back surgery
Jenkins will have back surgery Wednesday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
The 39th overall pick in this year's draft initially was projected to start at left tackle, with the Bears even releasing incumbent starter Charles Leno a few days after they added Jenkins. The rookie will now miss at least the first few games of his career, with coach Matt Nagy simply saying he hopes to get Jenkins back at some point this season. The Bears signed a potential replacement earlier this week, bringing in 39-year-old Jason Peters.
Jul 29, 2021
Battling back tightness
Jenkins is considered day-to-day with back tightness, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, though injuries at the start of camp are never ideal. Jenkins was selected 39th overall by the Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft and is expected to slot in as the starting left tackle as a rookie.
