Overview

  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said it is highly unlikely Jenkins plays again this season after leaving Monday night’s loss to the Eagles.
  • X-rays showed a fractured lower leg, identified as a fibula by ESPN, following the play in which Jordan Love rolled into Jenkins’ left leg.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Jenkins will need surgery to address both the fracture and ligament damage.
  • Green Bay placed Jenkins on injured reserve and signed special-teamer Kristian Welch to the active roster in a corresponding move.
  • The injury pressures an already thin interior line, and coverage notes Jenkins carries a $24.8 million cap number in 2026 with about $20 million in potential savings if he were moved.
