Jenkins was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Jenkins signed with the Raiders on Wednesday, but he'll be unavailable for the entire 2022 campaign after sustaining a torn ACL in the second quarter of Saturday's preseason win over the Dolphins. He also dealt with a calf injury earlier in the offseason and will now face a lengthy recovery process ahead of the 2023 season.

Texans' Jordan Jenkins: Shifted to active/PUP list
Rotowire
Jenkins (ankle) was added to the active/physically unable to perform list by the Texans on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jenkins will not be eligible to practice or play in the preseason until he is activated from this list by Houston -- a move the team can make at any point before the final roster cutdown date. If not, the veteran defensive end, who played 11 games for the Texans in 2021, will be forced to miss the first four contests of the regular season.

Texans' Jordan Jenkins: Gets positive COVID-19 result
Rotowire
Jenkins tested positive for the coronavirus Thursday and will be placed on the Texans' reserve/COVID-19 list, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jenkins, cornerback Lonnie Johnson, safety Eric Murray and defensive tackle Roy Lopez are among the Texans who tested positive Thursday, bringing the organization's total number of players on the reserve/COVID-19 list or practice squad/COVID-19 list up to 22. After tearing the PCL of his left knee Nov. 21 against the Titans, Jenkins was activated from injured reserve last week and played 31 snaps on defense in Houston's win over Jacksonville. Even if he's vaccinated, Jenkins will face an uphill battle to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Texans' Jordan Jenkins: Out at least three weeks
Rotowire
Jenkins (knee) tore his posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is expected to miss at least three weeks, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Jenkins isn't expected to need surgery, but a trip to injured reserve is expected. Derek Rivers is the only backup defensive end behind Jonathan Greenard and Jacob Martin on the Texans roster, so Rivers will likely be thrust into an expanded role during Jenkins' absence.

Texans' Jordan Jenkins: Registers first sack of season
Rotowire
Jenkins registered four tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Dolphins.
Through seven games this season, Jenkins has totaled 16 tackles and 1.5 sacks, but a large portion of that production came Sunday. The 27-year-old defensive end likely won't be a viable IDP option when the Texans return from their Week 10 bye to face the Titans.

Texans' Jordan Jenkins: Heads to Texans
Rotowire
Jenkins (shoulder) signed a two-year deal with the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jenkins spent the first five seasons of his professional career with the Jets, racking up a total of 24.5 sacks. He was limited to 12 games in 2020 due to a shoulder injury, though he is expected to be healthy in time for the 2021 season after undergoing surgery. He joins a number of offseason additions on the defensive side of the ball for Houston and should play a significant role among its linebacker corps.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Will need surgery
Rotowire
Coach Adam Gase said Thursday that Jenkins (shoulder) will require surgery to address his injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Jenkins is already on IR for the final three weeks of the season, but the news that he'll need surgery could impact his stock in free agency. The 2016 third-round pick had his sack totals decrease from eight to two from 2019 to 2020, but he notched 32 solo tackles both seasons. Through 12 games in 2019, he also had one defended pass and a forced fumble.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Dealing with rib injury
Rotowire
Jenkins suffered a rib injury during Sunday's loss to the Bills and likely will miss practices this week, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
There doesn't appear to be major concern about Jenkins' status for the upcoming game against the Chiefs, but it'll depend on how he responds to practice this week. The 26-year-old has generated just nine tackles and a sack through seven games this season. Bryce Hager is in line for first-team reps until Jenkins can return.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Set to face Broncos
Rotowire
Jenkins (shoulder) is active for the Jets' Thursday night game against the Broncos.
The 26-year-old linebacker was held to limited participation in practice on a short week, but the Jets' training staff has evidently seen enough from Jenkins pre-game to determine him active for this matchup between 0-3 teams. Jenkins has one sack in three appearances this year after posting seven-plus sacks each of the past two seasons. Jeff Driskel absorbed five sacks last week for the Broncos against Tampa Bay, though Brett Rypien (sacked once on 10 dropbacks himself against the Buccaneers) will earn his first career start Thursday night.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Estimated as limited participant
Rotowire
Jenkins was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to a shoulder injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The 26-year-old apparently toughed out the injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts, playing 35 of 60 defensive snaps. According to Cimini, coach Adam Gase said it will be "hard to hold [Jenkins] out," so it appears he's on track to play Thursday versus the Broncos.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Back with Jets
Rotowire
Jenkins has signed a one-year, $5 million deal to remain with the Jets, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
Per Mehta, the Patriots and Ravens were also in the mix, but the outside linebacker preferred to return to the Jets in order to play under the coaching of Gregg Williams once again. The 2016 third-rounder logged 32 tackles to go along with a career- and team-high eight sacks in 14 games last season.

Rotowire
Jenkins (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
The Jets will likely be without C.J. Mosley (hamstring) as well. This matchup will be difficult for the Jets without Jenkins or Mosley, as the Patriots rank fifth in the league with 422 total yards per game while turning the ball over just once.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Doubtful to return Monday
Rotowire
Jenkins suffered a calf injury during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Browns and is doubtful to return, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Jenkins appeared visually frustrated after exiting the game midway through the first quarter. The fourth-year linebacker is one of the Jets' most productive pass rushers, so depth players Tarell Basham and Frankie Luvu will aim to step up and put pressure on Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield if Jenkins remains out.

Jets' Jordan Jenkins: Nursing shoulder injury
Rotowire
Jenkins was limited with a shoulder injury during spring workouts, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
The severity of Jenkins' situation isn't known and it's not clear if this injury is related to the shoulder injury he dealt with in the middle of last season. Hopefully, he'll be fully ready to go in time for training camp. The contract-year linebacker is coming off a career-high seven sacks in 2018 and could benefit from the addition of the No. 3 overall pick, Quinnen Williams.
