Can Teven Jenkins solidify the Chicago Bears’ starting RG spot tonight? FrontOffice33 | DaBears
was sacked twice and hurried on multiple occasions throughout just 18 offensive snaps, and Schofield was partially to blame for the starting offensive line’s blunders. Schofield also failed to generate the desired movement in the run game. Schofield’s below-average showing could have contributed to the staff’s willingness to move Jenkins guard just two days after that contest against the Chiefs. Don’t believe in coincidences.
It’s worth monitoring who earns the start at right guard with the Bears’ first-team offense against the Seahawks on Thursday. If it’s Schofield, it indicates the veteran journeyman remains comfortably ahead of Jenkins in their standoff. If it’s Jenkins however, the No. 38 overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft increases his likelihood of earning an unsuspecting start against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.
Above all, Jenkins must showcase he’s acclimating nicely to his new position with a good performance against the Seahawks’ underrated defensive line. All reports out of Bears practice this week indicate Jenkins is making a smooth transition. It’s a welcomed development. “We kicked him inside and he’s been there for a couple days and he’s doing a good job,” Head Coach Matt EberflusIt’s worth noting the position isn’t totally foreign to Jenkins, who started a handful of games at right guard for Oklahoma State during the 2017 season. That was several years ago, and Jenkins eventually thrived at both left and right tackle for the Cowboys. Jenkins’ lack of overall range had some teams viewing him as a guard throughout the pre-draft process.
Thursday’s exhibition showdown against the Seahawks may present a fate-deciding moment for Jenkins. If the Topeka, Kansas native can string together a standout performance, it may represent the push required to defeat Schofield and lock down the starting job at right guard. It would qualify as an unbelievable turn of events given the rollercoaster of an offseason Jenkins has experienced.
