Raiders sign LB Tae Davis, placed Jordan Jenkins on IR

Two days.

That’s the length of time between when Jordan Jenkins signed with the Raiders and when he was lost to injury.

Jenkins joined the Raiders on Thursday of last week. And in Saturday’s game he went down with a leg injury and was helped off the field. Now the team has sent him to injured reserve, ending his 2022 season.

To fill the vacancy on the roster, the team added linebacker Tae Davis.

Most recently, Davis was with the Houston Texans. He spent the 2021 season on injured reserve and was in Texans’ camp this year before being waived this weekend.

Davis spent last game action came in Cleveland in 2020, appearing in 13 games, mostly playing on special teams, with 25 combined defensive snaps.

The fourth year linebacker entered the league with the New York Giants in 2018 as an undrafted free agent out of Chatanooga. He appeared in 14 games with four starts with the Giants as a rookie, putting up two sacks, four QB hits, and 33 tackles that season.

Las Vegas Raiders LB Jordan Jenkins is out for the season

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Jordan Jenkins is out for the season with a knee injury

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Jordan Jenkins will miss the 2022 NFL season. Jenkins suffered a torn ACL in the Raiders’ preseason victory over the Miami Dolphins. Jenkins has been placed on injured reserve.

Jordan Jenkins played college football at the University of Georgia from 2012-2015. Jenkins recorded 19.0 sacks during his career with the Bulldogs.

Jenkins has six years of NFL experience, but is expected to be out for the season. The New York Jets selected Jenkins in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft. The former Georgia star spent five seasons in New York before signing with the Texans in the 2021 NFL offseason.

Jordan Jenkins played in 11 games last season as a reserve pass rusher for the Houston Texans. He recorded 2.5 sacks and 20 total tackles.

Houston recently released Jenkins, who was battled a strained calf, after they activated him from the physically unable to perform list. Jenkins had just signed with the Raiders to help strengthen their outside linebackers room. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in his first game with the Raiders. Las Vegas may look to sign another NFL veteran to improve its pass rush.

Raiders release veteran LB Kenny Young

LB Kenny Young it out. DE Jordan Jenkins is in.

The competition at linebacker for the Raiders just got a bit tighter. The team announced the release of Kenny Young.

The journeyman linebacker had not practiced for a week and missed the team’s second preseason game against the Vikings.

Young was a 4th round pick out of UCLA in 2018 by the Baltimore Ravens. Midway through his second season in Baltimore, he was traded to the Rams. Then midway through his second season there, he was traded to the Broncos.

He made it midway through his first camp with the Raiders before they let him go.

The Raiders also officially announced the addition of former Jets and Texans edge rusher Jordan Jenkins.

Raiders sign former Jets third-round pick DE Jordan Jenkins

Former third-round pick DE Jordan Jenkins signs with Raiders

After the trade of Tyree Gillespie to the Titans, the Raiders had an open roster spot. Wednesday they filled that spot by adding former Texans and Jets edge rusher Jordan Jenkins following a workout.

Jenkins spent part of last season on injured reserve, returning for the final two games of the season for the Texans.

In those two games, he had one sack, one QB hit and one tackle for loss, giving him 2.5 sacks, five QB hits, and four tackles for loss in 11 games.

That was Jenkins’s only season in Houston. He spent the first five years of his career with the Jets, who selected him in the third round of the 2016 draft.

The 28-year-old started 82 games over his first five seasons, putting up 22.5 sacks over that time. His best seasons were in 2018 and 2019 when he had a combined 17 sacks and 28 QB hits.

The Raiders are looking for some pass rush help behind starters Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones. Jenkins should add some solid competition for that spot over the last couple weeks of camp.

Report: Texans to cut DE Jordan Jenkins

The Houston Texans are parting ways with defensive end Jordan Jenkins.

The Houston Texans are moving on from defensive end Jordan Jenkins.

According to Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network, the Texans are releasing the former New York Jets 2016 third-round pick. The move is helpful to Jenkins as it provides for an opportunity to make another team’s roster.

Despite being on the physically unable to perform list with a strained calf, Jenkins has been improving.

The Texans signed Jenkins to a two-year, $6 million contract in 2021 free agency. The former Georgia Bulldog provided Houston with 20 combined tackles, four tackles for loss, five quarterback hits, and 2.5 sacks through 11 games last season.

Jenkins was recovering from a torn labrum in the 2021 offseason. In Week 11 at the Tennessee Titans, Jenkins tore his PCL but managed to finish out the rest of the season.

The three players on the PUP list are defensive end Jordan Jenkins, defensive back Tristin McCollum, and fifth-round tight end Teagan Quitoriano.

According to Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network, the Texans placed Jenkins on the PUP list due to an ankle injury. The former New York Jets 2016 third-round pick is not expected to stay on the PUP list very long.

List of Texans heading into final year of their contracts in 2022

Here is a look at Houston Texans players who are entering the final year of their contracts in 2022.

The 2022 NFL season could the opportunity for the Houston Texans to shake the “rebuilding” tag that has stuck with them throughout the Nick Caserio era.

The hope is an improved defense and better weapons around second-year quarterback Davis Mills will provide optimism that contender status is right around the corner.

If the Texans exceed expectations, it will create a welcomed headache for Caserio: which players on expiring deals are worthy of contract extensions?

Here is a full list of Texans heading into the final year of their contract in 2022 (figures via Over the Cap):

How did 11 Jets departures play with their new teams in 2021?

How did some ex-Jets perform with their news teams in 2021 after leaving New York?

Joe Douglas sent a lot of players packing last offseason. For the most part, he made smart decisions, as ex-Jets didn’t fare too well with new teams in 2021 after middling careers in New York.

The most notable departures, such as Sam Darnold and Chris Herndon, squandered fresh starts in new cities. A few former Jets took advantage of increased opportunities elsewhere, but New York didn’t miss most of the players Douglas didn’t retain.

Here’s how 11 Jets cast-offs fared away from New York in 2021.
