Jenkins (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday. Jenkins missed the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Patriots. His full practice Thursday indicates he should be good to go Sunday against the Vikings, and Jenkins could start at left guard if Ryan Bates is unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols.

Jenkins (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday. Jenkins missed the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Patriots. His full practice Thursday indicates he should be good to go Sunday against the Vikings, and Jenkins could start at left guard if Ryan Bates is unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols.
Head coach Matt Eberflus stated Monday that he's optimistic Jenkins (ankle) can return this week, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports. Jenkins suffered the injury in Week 10 and missed the Bears' loss to the Packers on Sunday. A return for the starting left guard would be a boost to Chicago's offensive line when they host the Vikings on Sunday.
Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Jenkins was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Bears' Week 10 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Ryan Bates to serve as Chicago's top left guard in Jenkins' stead in Week 11.
Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup versus New England. Jenkins was hurt in the first half, and he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His absence further depletes a Chicago offensive line that entered Sunday without both starting tackles -- Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright are both absent this week due to knee injuries. Jake Curhan will likely need to step up with Jenkins out for the remainder of Sunday's game.
Jenkins (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against New England. Nate Davis (back) is inactive for Sunday's game, so while Jenkins is sidelined, Doug Kramer will come in at left guard, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
Jenkins (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Jenkins was limited in practice Wednesday and Friday, but was DNP on Thursday and was given the questionable tag. He should start at left guard for the Bears.
Jenkins left Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders with a knee injury and did not return, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Jenkins started at left guard for the seventh time in seven games this season. He has started 31 of the 38 games he's played in since getting drafted in the second round in 2021. His backup, Bill Murray, also exited Sunday's game, with a chest injury, and did not return.
Jenkins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. He never upgraded to full participation in practice this week while nursing the ankle injury, but Jenkins will be ready to reprise his usual duties as the Bears' starting left guard. Jenkins' availability is a positive development for starting running back D'Andre Swift, who has bounced back from a poor start to the season by amassing 285 yards from scrimmage over the past two weeks while running behind a healthy Chicago offensive line.
Jenkins (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. Jenkins downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday. However, he upgraded to limited work in Friday's practice, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 6. If Jenkins is unable to play through his ankle issue Sunday, expect Bill Murray to serve as the Bears' top left guard.
