GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay center Elgton Jenkins has been
placed on injured reserve after getting knocked out of the
Packers' 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
The Packers announced Tuesday they had placed the two-time Pro
Bowl selection on injured reserve and had signed linebacker
Kristian Welch from their practice squad to their active roster.
The injured reserve designation means that Jenkins must miss at
least the Packers' next four games. The 29-year-old Jenkins had
left the Eagles game with what team officials described as an
ankle injury
Jenkins has spent his entire career with the Packers, who
selected him out of Mississippi State in the second round of the
2019 draft. He has made 94 career starts for the Packers and has
started games at every position on the offensive line except for
right guard.
Sixty-seven of those starts have come at left guard. Jenkins
moved over to center this season after the Packers signed former
San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Aaron Banks to take over
at left guard.
Jenkins earned Pro Bowl honors in 2020 and 2022.
The Packers (5-3-1) will try to snap a two-game skid Sunday when
they visit the New York Giants (2-8).
