Bears' Teven Jenkins being tried out at a different position in practice!
Teven Jenkins has been in the news a lot in the past weeks. Indeed, he was involved in trade rumors after missing 7 straight practices a few weeks ago.
While Jenkins did not say what led to him sitting out or if it was related to last year's back issues, he did say that the time off was for «the betterment of my health.»
However, it looks like the issue is now resolved as Jenkins played versus the Chiefs in the preseason game and he performed very nicely. He had a few great plays, including a few "pancake" blocks.
With that being said, it looks like the Bears might be trying to move him around and find a way to have him on the first team!
Indeed, Brad Biggs reported that Teven Jenkins is getting reps at right guard with reserves this morning.
I actually like this potential move. Jenkins clearly has the strength to play on the inside and when you look at the game tape from the game against the Chiefs, you can see that RG is looking like a weak spot on the offensive line right now...
Jenkins still has such a high ceiling and I think he could become a multi-year starter in this league.
Here is what Jacob Infante had to say about him moving back on the inside:
