Solid update on Bears' Teven Jenkins
There was some good news on Saturday with Bears offensive tackle Teven Jenkins returning to the practice field after missing seven straight training camp practices with an undisclosed injury.
While he had a very quiet day on Saturday, it looks like he stepped up the workload on Sunday.
Here is a report from Alex Shapiro.
Eberflus said that Jenkins is entering his ramp-up period as he gets back up to speed. Jenkins said that he expects to be back to 100% in a couple of days. Right now, he's about 90%.
Jenkins said his lengthy absence was «for the betterment of my health. We had to make sure I was 100%.»
There was no comment from Eberflus or general manager Ryan Poles about their widely reported interest in trading the 2021 second-round pick. I don't expect the Bears to respond to every rumor, but they could have gone deeper on Jenkins' future with the team than having offensive coordinator Luke Getsy say Jenkins could compete for a spot when he's back.
