Packers OL Elgton Jenkins says absence Sunday not contract related

Elgton Jenkins’ absence from Sunday’s practice was not related to his contract situation, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The Green Bay Packers offensive lineman missed Sunday’s practice but was back on Monday.

Sunday morning, head coach Matt LaFleur said that it was not planned for Jenkins to miss practice, however, the team was going to keep the reasoning internal. It was later confirmed by Green Bay Press Gazette’s Ryan Wood that it had nothing to do with his knee, which prompted speculation that it might be contract related.

Jenkins is expected to receive a sizable contract in the near future.
