One of the more frustrating storylines for the Green Bay Packers is the unavailability of left guard-turned-center Elgton Jenkins. On top of his contract gripes, which are completely valid, the 29-year-old offensive lineman began training camp on the NFI list for an undisclosed back injury.
The Packers have invested in the offensive line plenty, drafting Jordan Morgan in the first round last year, locking in right tackle Zach Tom with a lucrative extension recently, and adding Aaron Banks in free agency to be the new starting left guard.
It’s a group that Jenkins has expressed he wants to be a part of, and Jordan Love and the rest of the Packers’ backfield will be happy to have him in the lineup.
