Bears writer explains what we should expect to see from Teven Jenkins tonight!
Teven Jenkins will be one of the players with the most to gain today. With him switching position just a few weeks ago, he is still trying to gain as much experience as he can on the interior of the offensive line. I think he could have a future at RG, especially with his size and strength.
Here is what Bears senior writer Larry Mayer had to say on his subject:
It's been a whirlwind last few weeks for the second-year offensive lineman, who was switched from tackle to right guard Aug. 14. Jenkins initially practiced with the second-team offense at his new position, but was elevated to the No. 1 unit the next day and then started there two days later against the Seahawks.
Eberflus told reporters that he felt the 2021 second-round pick had a solid game in Seattle but added that "he's got to continue to grow at the position." The Bears coach indicated that the competition for the starting right guard position remains open heading into the preseason finale, but it seems as if Jenkins can cement the job with a strong performance versus the Browns.
After practicing at right guard Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jenkins said that he feels "a lot more comfortable than when I started, because I actually had more reps under my belt and I'm starting to learn all the tendencies, all the consistency I need to have to be a guard instead of a tackle."
