Jenkins finished the 2024 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble return touchdown across 13 games. Jenkins signed with the Seahawks in March of 2024 on a two-year, $12 million contract after spending the three previous seasons with the Jaguars. He started at safety alongside Julian Love and played every single defensive snap in the first six games of the regular season. Jenkins registered 38 tackles (26 solo) over that span, and his best play of the year came in Week 5 against the Giants, when he recovered fumble and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown. Jenkins was forced to go on injured reserve in mid-October after undergoing surgery on his hand, and when he returned in late November, he permanently lost his starting role at safety to Coby Bryant. Jenkins and Bryant are set to compete for the second starting safety spot alongside Love for the 2025 campaign when training camp begins in July.

The Seahawks activated Jenkins (hand) from injured reserve Saturday. Jenkins practiced fully all week and wasn't given an injury designation on Friday's injury report, so he appears ready to return after missing the Seahawks' previous four contests. Jenkins played every defensive snap from Weeks 1 through 6 before going on injured reserve ahead of Week 7.
Jenkins (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Jenkins, however, remains on injured reserve, but he's expected to be activated by Saturday afternoon and will be eligible to play against Arizona. Jenkins was injured in Week 6 and missed the required four games while on IR. He played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the Seahawks' initial six contests.
Jenkins (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Jenkins has been sidelined for Seattle's last four games due to a hand injury he suffered against San Francisco in Week 6. The injury prompted the Seahawks to place Jenkins on injured reserve, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, and head coach Mike Macdonald relayed that Jenkins will likely be able to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Jenkins' return would likely mean that Coby Bryant would revert to a reserve role in the Seahawks' secondary.
The Seahawks designated Jenkins (hand) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Jenkins has missed the Seahawks' last four games after likely sustaining a hand injury in Seattle's Week 6 loss to the 49ers. However, his 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday, suggesting that he's nearing a return to the field. The 30-year-old safety now has a chance to play in the Seahawks' Week 12 matchup against the Cardinals, but he must first be activated to Seattle's active roster.
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Jenkins (hand) is expected to play again this season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. The 30-year-old underwent hand surgery on Oct. 11 and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but Macdonald's comments Friday indicate that Jenkins will likely return at some point this season. The veteran safety will be forced to miss Seattle's next four games after going on IR, with his earlier possible returning coming in Week 12 against the Cardinals. Expect K'Von Wallace to continue serving as the Seahawks' top strong safety until Jenkins returns.
The Seahawks placed Jenkins on injured reserve Wednesday due to a hand injury, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Jenkins hasn't missed a defensive snap this season, even while wearing a club on his hand the last two games. However, it appears the injury has become severe enough that a multi-week absence is necessary for the 2017 fourth-round pick. Jenkins will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Cardinals on Nov. 24. While Jenkins is sidelined, K'Von Wallace is likely to step up as the Seahawks' starting strong safety alongside free safety Julian Love.
Jenkins (hand) was estimated to be a full participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Jenkins was limited to open the week Monday with a hand injury, but the safety now looks to be set to play Thursday versus the 49ers. The 30-year-old has produced 36 total tackles (24 solo) while also returning a fumble for a touchdown over five games in 2024.
Jenkins (hand) was considered to be a limited participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Jenkins registered five total tackles (three solo) in the team's 29-20 loss to the Giants in Week 5, potentially picking up a hand injury in the process. The safety will look to log a full practice prior to Thursday's matchup with the 49ers at home.
