John Jenkins: Everything you need to know

Jenkins signed a one-year, $2.1 million extension with the Ravens on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The 36-year-old defensive tackle was in line to be an unrestricted free agent following the 2025 season, but he's now set to remain in Baltimore. Jenkins has appeared in 16 games this season, recording 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defensed. Now under contract through 2026, he's expected to remain the Ravens' top nose tackle for the foreseeable future.

Jenkins (illness) is active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots. Jenkins seems to have recovered from the illness that caused him to miss consecutive practices to end Week 16. The nose tackle should be ready to rock for Sunday night's primetime contest. The 36-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, coming into Sunday night with 34 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks and two forced fumbles through 14 games.

Jenkins (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Jenkins missed consecutive practices to end the week with an illness he picked up Thursday. The immune system is likely the only thing limiting the defensive tackle's playing chances, and if he can recover by Sunday night, he should suit up against the Patriots. If the illness persists, Aeneas Peebles and CJ Okoye will likely see an increased defensive snap share in primetime.
