Elgton Jenkins Activated for Limited Drills in Center Transition

Jenkins aims to solidify Green Bay’s interior line ahead of the season after recovering from a back injury as contract negotiations continue.

Overview

  • Jenkins was removed from the non-football injury list Monday and participated in individual drills at Packers training camp.
  • He is moving from left guard to center to replace Josh Myers, with free-agent addition Aaron Banks shifting into the left guard role.
  • The 29-year-old Pro Bowler has started 85 of 87 career games and played center at Mississippi State, highlighting his adaptability across the line.
  • Jenkins has two years left on a four-year, $68 million contract with no guaranteed money and is seeking a reworked deal to reflect the center market.
  • Despite unresolved talks, he says his priority is building chemistry with the offensive line and contributing on the field.
