Jenkins left Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders with a knee injury and did not return, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Jenkins started at left guard for the seventh time in seven games this season. He has started 31 of the 38 games he's played in since getting drafted in the second round in 2021. His backup, Bill Murray, also exited Sunday's game with a chest injury and did not return.

Jenkins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. He never upgraded to full participation in practice this week while nursing the ankle injury, but Jenkins will be ready to reprise his usual duties as the Bears' starting left guard. Jenkins' availability is a positive development for starting running back D'Andre Swift, who has bounced back from a poor start to the season by amassing 285 yards from scrimmage over the past two weeks while running behind a healthy Chicago offensive line.

Jenkins (ankle) was a non-participant during practice Thursday. Jenkins logged a limited practice Wednesday, suggesting he was on the road to recovery from the injury he suffered in Week 5 against the Panthers. However, his inability to get on the practice field Thursday suggests he may have aggravated the injury or didn't respond well to Wednesday's activity level. Jenkins' status for Friday's practice session will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Jenkins (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Friday that Jenkins has been progressing throughout the week, so it sounds as if he could be a game-time decision in Week 5, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. If Jenkins is unable to suit up in Week 5, expect Bill Murray to serve as the Bears' top left guard.

Jenkins (ribs) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. Jenkins left Sunday's win over the Rams due to a ribs injury, so it's no surprise that the 2021 second-round pick won't practice Wednesday. His participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 5, as the Bears host the Panthers.
