Chicago Bears: Is Teven Jenkins on Roquan Smith rookie year path to starting?

No one is raising serious concern around the status of Teven Jenkins but it has to be noted that we are now entering the second week of training camp and Jenkins has yet to strap up. It is early, and Matt Nagy has downplayed the injury saying that Jenkins is close to returning. However, this is a rookie who already is entering camp behind the eight ball as he tries to switch from right to left tackle with the Chicago Bears.

Jenkins may return tomorrow, or in the coming weeks so the severity of the injury may not be the issue as much as Jenkins not being able to get this time back, and now have him be behind a learning curve.
