Chicago Bears offensive lineman Teven Jenkins was the subject of trade rumors less than a month ago, but now he s looking at an opportunity to earn the starting job at right guard.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) Teven Jenkins’ journey to the brink of becoming a Chicago Bears starter included numerous peaks and valleys in a short period. Now Jenkins could be on the verge of securing the Bears' starting right guard spot, though he still can’t be certain of the future heading into Saturday’s preseason finale at Cleveland against the Browns.
The 2021 second-round draft pick, demoted to backup right tackle earlier in training camp, is on the verge of finding a new home just nine days after he switched positions. “[I’m] a lot more comfortable than when I started,” he said.
