  The Steelers released Jenkins on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Jenkins started the regular season at strong safety before being benched for Robert Spears-Jennings in Week 5.

  The Steelers signed Jenkins to a contract Saturday, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

• Browns' Rayshawn Jenkins: Production drops again in 2025

  Rotowire Feb 5, 2026

  Jenkins tallied 45 total tackles (19 solo), one interception and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025. The 31-year-old from Miami has seen vast declines in several statistical categories over the past two seasons, recording fewer total tackles (101 to 45), sacks (1.0 to none), passes defensed (nine to one) and interceptions (two to one) compared to his 2023 campaign with the Jaguars. However, Jenkins played a much smaller role on the Browns defense in 2025, logging just 276 defensive snaps, his lowest mark since 2018. Set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Jenkins could find work as a reserve safety ahead of the 2026 season.

• Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins: Expected to return this season

  Rotowire Oct 18, 2024

  Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Jenkins (hand) is expected to play again this season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. The 30-year-old underwent hand surgery on Oct. 11 and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but Macdonald's comments Friday indicate that Jenkins will likely return at some point this season. The veteran safety will be forced to miss Seattle's next four games after going on IR, with his earlier possible returning coming in Week 12 against the Cardinals. Expect K'Von Wallace to continue serving as the Seahawks' top strong safety until Jenkins returns.

• Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins: Lands on IR with hand injury

  Rotowire Oct 16, 2024

  The Seahawks placed Jenkins on injured reserve Wednesday due to a hand injury, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Jenkins hasn't missed a defensive snap this season, even while wearing a club on his hand the last two games. However, it appears the injury has become severe enough that a multiweek absence is necessary for the 2017 fourth-round pick. Jenkins will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Cardinals on Nov. 24. While Jenkins is sidelined, K'Von Wallace is likely to step up as the Seahawks' starting strong safety alongside free safety Julian Love.

  Rotowire Apr 6, 2023

  Jenkins restructured his contract with Jacksonville on Thursday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports. Jenkins had signed a four-year deal with the team in 2021 worth $35 million. The restructuring converted $6.4 million of his salary into a signing bonus, which opened up $5.1 million in cap space for the Jaguars this offseason, according to Jason Fitzgerald of overthecap.com. Jenkins finished the 2022 season with a career-high 116 tackles (73 solo) and should maintain his starting strong-safety job in 2023.

  Rotowire Dec 25, 2022

  Jenkins recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Thursday's 19-3 win over the Jets.

The 28-year-old has already set new career highs with 104 tackles and 11 passes defensed on the season, and he'll now look to keep momentum moving forward when the Jaguars travel to Houston on New Year's Day.
