Jenkins is just a year removed from suffering a torn ACL. He missed the opener against Minnesota but has started 12 of the other 13 games this year, splitting his time between right tackle and left guard. The Mississippi State product was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and a first alternate this season. Jenkins is versatile, having played all five spots along the line in his career.
The 27-year-old Jenkins was set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
