Elgton Jenkins opens at right tackle in first team period since return from PUP

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur didn’t want to commit Elgton Jenkins to any one position upon his return from the PUP list, but Monday’s walkthrough practice provided the first clue about where Jenkins could end up when he’s officially cleared to play.

According to Mike Spofford of the team’s official site, Jenkins was the starting right tackle during the first 11-on-11 team period on Monday.

Joining Jenkins was Yosh Nijman at left tackle, Jon Runyan Jr. at left guard, Josh Myers at center and Royce Newman at right guard. It’s certainly possible that this will be the starting five come Week 1 if Jenkins is cleared.
