That is a big "if" at this point. Jenkins has participated in a team practice once during training camp so far in his career including last season and this season.
He has had some type of undisclosed injury this season although he returned to individual workouts today and has indicated that he is close to returning to team practice.
I just think that it is a bit of a red flag that the new front office is so ready to "move on." It is not like the Bears have an All-Pro offensive line and can give away talented players so easily.
I wonder if the new front office has a different conclusion about his back and if they think it will be a continual issue throughout his playing career.
Again, I have no issue with acquiring Jenkins although I think the acquiring team needs to be careful about putting together the trade package. I wouldn't be comfortable trading a Day 1 or 2 draft pick (Rounds 1 - 3).
