Third-year lineman will start at his fourth position up front dating back to last year’s opener Mike Spofford
GREEN BAY - Elgton Jenkins made the decision on a whim, and little did he know where it would lead.
Last season in Week 9 at San Francisco, the Packers were without All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari. Then his substitute, Rick Wagner, went down with an injury late in the second quarter.
So the coaching staff came to the versatile Jenkins at halftime with a choice. Did he want to move from his customary left guard position to right tackle, where he started the opener at Minnesota while Billy Turner was out?
