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.

There’s no doubt about the top potential University of Georgia product who could be headed for NFL Free Agency: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green. The Bengals are expected to give Green the franchise tag to prevent him from hitting free agency.
When healthy A.J. Green is one of the elite wide receivers in the NFL. Unfortunately he missed the entire 2019 season after suffering an ankle injury in training camp. Swelling prevented his attempted return late in the season.
Green, who is 31 years old, has over 600 career receptions for 8,907 yards. He’s scored 63 touchdowns as well, but has never won a playoff game. Will he sign the franchise tag with Cincinnati or holdout? The Bengals have needs across the board and may want to stick with their talented young receivers, who will look to mesh with projected number one overall pick Joe Burrow.
New York Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins will be in for a massive raise. Jenkins led New York in sacks in 2019 with 8.0 sacks. The Jets are desperate for a better pass rush. Green was the only Jets linebacker or defensive lineman with more than three sacks! Look for him to command around ten million dollars per season.

Buffalo Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie will hit the NFL Fee Agent market. The 24 year-old had an career-best 2019 campaign, where he caught 27 passes for 257 receiving yards and scored a touchdown. His versatile skill-set will be coveted.
Ben Watson, who played with the New England Patriots in 2019, is a free agent. Watson announced his retirement following New England’s defeat to the Tennessee Titans in the postseason. Watson has returned after retiring before, so don’t be shocked if he plays one more season.
Bonus: Las Vegas Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell, who missed the 2019 season with an Achilles injury, is set to become a free agent. Crowell never got to play for the Raiders, but he’ll look to make an impact somewhere in 2020.
