Teven Jenkins was establishing a home at right guard when a hip injury he had been managing all season flared up after the Dolphins game on Nov. 6.
It was all too typical of Jenkins’ star-crossed career that the same week he was being hailed as one of the best guards in the NFL — the sixth-highest graded guard in the league for the season and third-best for the previous month, according to Pro Football Focus — that Jenkins’ hip forced him to miss last week’s game against the Lions.
