Bears’ Teven Jenkins in a comfort zone at left guard

Teven Jenkins (76) played in 13 games (11 starts) at right guard last season, but never started more than five consecutive games because of injuries.

After two long seasons of a challenging introduction to the NFL, Teven Jenkins has found a home — at left guard. For now.

Jenkins, a 2021 second-round draft pick, is starting at left guard after starting 11 games at right guard last season. He was drafted as a tackle out of Oklahoma State, but started just two games at left tackle as a rookie in 2021 after missing most of the season following back surgery.
