Bears plan to get LG Teven Jenkins back from injured reserve for Commanders game

Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

Jenkins has played 19 of a possible 38 games since the Bears drafted him in the second round in 2021.

The Bears still won’t have their full offensive line against the Commanders this week, but it should get a little better with the expected return of left guard Teven Jenkins.

Jenkins has been on injured reserve because of a right leg injury he suffered in August and is eligible to return now that he has missed four games. Bears coach Matt Eberflus said all signs indicate he’ll be available.

In Jenkins’ absence, the Bears have been playing Cody Whitehair at left guard and Lucas Patrick at center.
