Bears guard Teven Jenkins looks to secure starting role

Associated Press  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Teven Jenkins’ journey to the brink of becoming a Chicago Bears starter included numerous peaks and valleys in a short period. Now Jenkins could be on the verge of securing the Bears’ starting right guard spot, though he still can’t be certain of the future heading into Saturday’s preseason finale at Cleveland against the Browns. “That’s one thing I’m looking forward to doing this weekend.” Jenkins went into the offseason thinking he’d be left tackle, got moved to right tackle, then fell behind Sam Borom. “Oklahoma State it was about my redshirt freshman year, I was a sixth man, so I had some games at guard, at left guard, right guard and that’s really about it,” Jenkins said. “And hopefully right now it’s for the Chicago Bears.” NOTES: Eberflus has said the starters will play a half, including linebacker Roquan Smith and quarterback Justin Fields.
