The Elgton Jenkins possible-maybe-sort of saga appears to be over, exactly zero padded practice days into training camp.

Now, technically speaking, there was never any saga at all. Jenkins never held out in training camp, but instead was on the NFI list. Players are placed on the NFI when they sustain an injury away from the team facility. Per the team, Jenkins was out with a back issue, but was removed from the NFI this morning and started practicing as soon as the pads came on.
