Packers: Lane Taylor injury gives opportunity for Elgton Jenkins

Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins spent some time playing at guard in last week’s victory over the Minnesota Vikings, which seemed to show the Green Bay Packers were considering making a change at left guard.

Lane Taylor — who started the opening two games of the season at left guard — has been ruled out of Sunday’s game due to a biceps injury, meaning Jenkins will get the opportunity to start.

When Taylor returns from injury, it’s possible he’ll be the main backup at guard with Jenkins becoming the full-time starter. It’s an important game on Sunday for the rookie, and it won’t be easy against a talented Broncos defense.
