Won't play versus Seahawks

Jenkins (calf) will miss Chicago's game versus the Seahawks on Thursday. Jenkins will miss his first game of the season after having been listed as a non-participant in in both practice sessions this week due to a calf injury. Matt Pryor will likely get the start in Jenkins' place during Thursday's matchup.
Estimated as DNP on Tuesday

Jenkins (calf) was listed as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated injury report. Jenkins has been held out of the first two walkthroughs of the week due to a calf injury he picked up in the Bears' Week 16 loss to the Lions. Jake Curhan would likely start at left tackle if Jenkins isn't cleared to play against the Seahawks on Thursday.
Exits game due to calf injury

Jenkins (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Jake Curhan will serve as the Bears' left guard for the rest of Sunday's game assuming Jenkins doesn't return.
Full practice Thursday

Jenkins (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday. Jenkins missed the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Patriots. His full practice Thursday indicates he should be good to go Sunday against the Vikings, and Jenkins could start at left guard if Ryan Bates is unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols.
Return on the horizon

Head coach Matt Eberflus stated Monday that he's optimistic Jenkins (ankle) can return this week, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports. Jenkins suffered the injury in Week 10 and missed the Bears' loss to the Packers on Sunday. A return for the starting left guard would be a boost to Chicago's offensive line when they host the Vikings on Sunday.
Won't play in Week 11

Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Jenkins was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Bears' Week 10 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Ryan Bates to serve as Chicago's top left guard in Jenkins' stead in Week 11.
Done for remainder of Week 10

Jenkins (ankle) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup versus New England. Jenkins was hurt in the first half, and he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His absence further depletes a Chicago offensive line that entered Sunday without both starting tackles -- Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright are both absent this week due to knee injuries. Jake Curhan will likely need to step up with Jenkins out for the remainder of Sunday's game.
Exits game with ankle injury

Jenkins (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against New England. Nate Davis (back) is inactive for Sunday's game, so while Jenkins is sidelined, Doug Kramer will come in at left guard, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
Active for Week 9

Jenkins (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Jenkins was limited in practice Wednesday and Friday, but was DNP on Thursday and was given the questionable tag. He should start at left guard for the Bears.
