Jenkins missed the Cardinals game because of a concussion.

Bears left guard Teven Jenkins has been out since suffered a concussion in the Browns game Dec. 17, and coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday he was still in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

The Bears played veteran Cody Whitehair in his spot against the Cardinals, and he was in for every snap. He is in line to start again if Jenkins is not cleared.

Whitehair, the longest-tenured Bear, began the season at left guard when Jenkins was on injured reserve. He switched to center in Week 6, but was not reliable snapping the ball and got pulled in favor of Lucas Patrick.
