Packers Sticking With ‘Alpha’ Jenkins at Right Tackle

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Elgton Jenkins has been the Green Bay Packers’ starting right tackle, is the starting right tackle and will continue to be the starting right tackle.

Period. End of (Twitter) conversation.

Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich couldn’t have been clearer after Wednesday’s practice, the first of two this week before flying to London to face the New York Giants. Jenkins will stick at right tackle and not move back to guard, and Yosh Nijman will provide valuable insurance rather than taking over at right tackle.

“You’re always looking to put your best five out there and, right now, I think Elgton’s the best at right tackle,” Stenavich, the offensive line coach the past three seasons, said.
