He was handed the job on draft day. If you are really hurt there is nothing you can do. But if you were nursing something you could play with that wasn’t the time to do it. I'd bet a buck he's not nursing it and I'd bet two bucks he's in much worse shape than they've indicated. It's not all that common for a team as tight against the cap as we are to bring in a 38 year old OT "to compete" for a starting role. I'm calling BS on that too. All it took as a single preseason game to realize that Elijah Wilkinson is no LT just as I said. Jason Peters will be the starting LT when the season begins.

The team went from saying they were being cautious to saying nothing at all. The player went from doing strenuous exercise to doing nothing at all. I would guess that the talks were underway before the game (although that would be crazy if Pace watched like 5 snaps, yelling "**** **** ****" and then signed the first guy he could find). I think we'll be lucky to see Jenkins play this year. Glad we didn't take him at 20 like I wanted to! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what we've been told, he probably doesn't. But we all know how honest and forthcoming the Halas Hall folks have been in recent years. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulman Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Nagy will duck, dodge, and avoid giving an accurate answer for as long as he can. That's his nature. I fully expect to see Jenkins on IR at some point in time. Pace is probably hoping Fields will make enough noise to distract from whatever is going on with Jenkins and that we knew it when he drafted him.

I don’t think it has been a month from when he stopped participating. Of course that relies on Bears telling truth about diagnosis which is dubious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it's just a sprain. Sooner or later Jenkins is either gonna begin practicing or he's not and Nagy will have to fess up as to what's really going on with him. At the moment he's not on the PUP like Ifedi so they're still selling the story that it's only a sore back and he'll be able to practice soon. I have my doubts. Maybe it's time to look into whatever offseason conditioning has been going on the intent of which was to create a bigger stronger OL. Could some of these injuries have come about because of too much lifting to build muscle bulk? Edited August 18, 2021 by soulman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
