After missing the last week with an injury, Chicago Bears offensive tackle Teven Jenkins returned to training camp and practiced on a limited basis. He also met the media for the first time in over two months and shared his expectations after dealing with a whirlwind of reports such as trade rumors and clashing with coaches. But Jenkins is with the Bears for now and expects to begin the regular season with the team.
When meeting with the media, Jenkins addressed the trade rumors and alleged rift with his coaches, but also what he thinks his status will be with the Bears this season. “Do I expect to be here in the regular season? Yeah.” Jenkins said pointedly. Jenkins stated he’s focused on what he can do with the Bears as he gets back into camp. “I’m here with the Chicago Bears right now. I’m here to play football for the Chicago Bears and that’s what I’m going to do and that’s what I plan on doing right now.”
