Former UGA DT expected to miss several games for Chicago Bears

Former Georgia Bulldog standout defensive lineman John Jenkins is expected to miss several games for the Chicago Bears with a thumb injury.

Former Georgia Bulldog standout defensive lineman John Jenkins played through a torn thumb ligament this past week. Jenkins helped the Chicago Bears defeat the New York Giants 17-13.

Now, Jenkins is anticipated to miss several games with his injury. Jenkins signed with the Bears following a career year with the Miami Dolphins last season. Jenkins has two tackles so far this season and has played in approximately one-third of Chicago’s defensive snaps.

Last season, Jenkins recorded a career-high 34 tackles in 16 games for the Miami Dolphins.

In order to replace Jenkins’ presence, the Bears are signing Daniel McCullers, a defensive tackle on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad. The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and NFL Draft Diamonds reported the news.

Daniel McCullers is one of the few players in the NFL who is bigger than John Jenkins. Jenkins should return to the Bears in several weeks. The Chicago Bears are off to a surprising 2-0 start to the 2020 NFL season.
