Bears left guard Teven Jenkins, arguably their best offensive lineman last season, will miss the first four games of the season on injured reserve.
Jenkins suffered a right leg injury during joint practices with the Colts two weeks ago and has been in a walking boot. General manager Ryan Poles described him as “week-to-week” and said it’s not a long-term issue, but the Bears can create an open roster spot by putting him on IR rather than wait to see how many games he misses — which might’ve been four anyway.
