Packers release inactives, Elgton Jenkins will play vs Bears

After missing the last three games with an ankle injury, offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins will play against the Chicago Bears. Yesterday, when wide receiver Juwaan Winfree was brought up from the practice squad instead of offensive lineman Ben Braden, it seemed like the Packers were on track to play Jenkins, which they confirmed when they released their inactives list today. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Jenkins is working as the starting left tackle today.

Wide receiver Malik Taylor (reserve/COVID-19), tackle Dennis Kelly (back), and cornerback Kevin King (shoulder) will all be missing the game as expected.
