The Bears have held and received calls regarding a trade involving offensive tackle Teven Jenkins, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.
It’s been a controversial year for Jenkins, who was selected with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after the old Bears regime traded up for him. He missed most of his rookie season due to lingering back issues, playing in 6 games and starting in just two of them.
He served as a left tackle for Chicago last season, but once Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace were fired as head coach and general manager, respectively, Jenkins moved to his natural position of right tackle.
