Jenkins was hospitalized Dec. 18 after hurting his neck against the Eagles.

Just two weeks after a sobering scene at Soldier Field in which right guard Teven Jenkins was carried off on a stretcher with a neck injury and taken to the hospital, he plans to play Sunday against the Lions.

Jenkins practiced in full Wednesday, his first on-field work since suffering a strained neck when Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat hit him in the head Dec. 18. The game stopped for about 10 minutes as players and staff surrounded Jenkins on the field.
