Elgton Jenkins’ ACL tear last season could have been a death knell for the Green Bay Packers. With David Bakhtiari out for almost the entire season with his own ACL issues, Jenkins locked down the left tackle position and played there at a very high level as he followed up a Pro Bowl appearance in 2020 at guard. Jenkins’ ability to play anywhere on the line has come in crucial for the Packers in the past, but last year he was needed, and needed pretty badly, on the left side.
That injury to Jenkins took place in week 11 of last year, just before Thanksgiving.
