Chicago Bears offensive lineman Teven Jenkins had an eventful training camp over the summer that resulted in him moving from tackle to guard due to injuries and ineffectiveness at the position. The result has been Jenkins excelling at his new spot and he seems to have found a home on the interior of the offensive line. But could he make a return to tackle at some point given the uncertainty at the position? Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy doesn’t seem inclined to make such a move.
Getsy, speaking with reporters on Thursday, addressed a question posed regarding Jenkins’ future on the offensive line and if there’s any interest in seeing what he can do back at the tackle position. “I think he’s a guy who could do it but I think what is most important is that he continues to grow at what he’s at,” said Getsy. “I think moving inside this year gave him an opportunity to find himself and I think he has. He’s done a really nice job of owning that role and has an opportunity to be a really good guy on the inside. So I don’t think there’s any interest to try and move him somewhere else, but I think he’s capable of doing that.”
