Packers Center Elgton Jenkins Leaves MNF With Ankle Injury as X-Rays Reportedly Show Fracture

X-rays reportedly revealed a fracture, leaving Green Bay to evaluate its options at center.

Overview

  • Jenkins was injured late in the second quarter against the Eagles, was carted to the locker room, and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • Coach Matt LaFleur said the situation "doesn't sound promising" after the 10-7 loss at Lambeau Field.
  • ESPN reporting indicates a fracture in Jenkins' left ankle or lower leg, with the timeline for return not yet known.
  • Backup Sean Rhyan took over at center and is the expected short-term starter, with depth options including Darian Kinnard, Anthony Belton, Jacob Monk, and Donovan Jennings.
  • Coverage notes potential longer-term cap decisions if the injury proves season-ending, including possible 2026 savings if the team moves on from Jenkins.
