Posts 21 stops in 2020 Jenkins recorded 21 tackles over 11 games for the Bears.

Impact In his age-30 season, Jenkins played 254 snaps in a rotational role and averaged 1.9 tackles over 11 games. He's an unrestricted free agent, and he'll likely continue to be a rotational player at defensive tackle with minimal fantasy value.

No restrictions Thursday Jenkins (ankle) was a full participant during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

Impact Jenkins was unavailable for Chicago's most recent game, a Monday night showdown against the Vikings, handing him a second consecutive inactive designation heading into the Bears' Week 11 bye. Benefitted by a 13-day span between games, Jenkins has a strong chance of playing Sunday against the Packers after practicing without restrictions on Thanksgiving.

Can't go Monday Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Vikings.

Impact Jenkins will miss a second straight game, and he'll look to heal up over the Week 11 bye. Anthony Rush, whom the Bears signed earlier in the week, should see immediate work behind starting nose tackle Bilal Nichols.

Ruled out Jenkins (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Jenkins was unable to practice all week, so this decision isn't too surprising. He will now set his sights on a potential return Week 10 against the Vikings.

Impact Jenkins had four solo tackles before being forced out Sunday. If he's unable to retake the field versus New Orleans, it will be a blow to Chicago's depth along the interior defensive line.

Activated for Week 6 Jenkins (thumb) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 31-year-old garnered 49 combined defensive snaps Weeks 1 and 2, but he served an IR stint between Weeks 3 and 5 because of a thumb injury. He started five times last year for Miami but has so far served as a depth option during his second tour with the Bears. Jenkins will be available for snaps behind starting nose tackle Bilal Nichols, as Chicago looks to contain Carolina's 14th-ranked rush attack.

Activated from IR Jenkins (thumb) has been activated from IR and is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jenkins returned to practice Wednesday and stayed on the field all week, so he's on track to play if needed. The veteran defensive tackle handled a decent workload behind Bilal Nichols through the first two weeks and recorded two tackles.

Eligible to begin practicing again Jenkins (thumb) has been designated to return from injured reserve, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact After starting five times for the Dolphins during 2019, Jenkins was filling a considerable role in the early stages of his return to Chicago. Jenkins had been a member of the Bears during 2017, but he only exceeded 20 defensive snaps three times over eight appearances that season. Prior to suffering a ligament tear in his thumb during the Bears' Week 2 win over the Giants, Jenkins had fielded an average of 24.5 snaps per game on the defensive side.

Lands on IR The Bears placed Jenkins (thumb) on injured reserve Thursday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Impact Jenkins will need to spend at least three game on IR after having suffered a ligament tear in his thumb during Sunday's win over the Giants. His next chance to suit up will come Week 6 at Carolina.

Longer absence ahead Jenkins (thumb) will miss several games and is a candidate to be placed on IR, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jenkins apparently suffered a ligament tear in his thumb Week 2 against the Giants, but continued to play through it. Not addressing the issue may prove costly here if an IR stint is in play. In the meantime, the Bears will add defensive line depth by signing defensive tackle Daniel McCullers off the Pittsburgh practice squad.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for camp Jenkins (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Jenkins has been a journeyman during his NFL tenure, as he's been rostered on five teams in as many years. His quick return off the COVID list certainly big for him, as he's currently expected to start at nose tackle due to Eddie Goldman's decision to opt out for the year.
