CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bears offensive lineman Teven Jenkins was carted off the field with a neck injury after he got hurt on the team's first drive Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jenkins went down while blocking for David Montgomery on a running play with 12:31 left in the first quarter. The right guard was ruled out for the rest of the game.

The 24-year-old Jenkins was a second-round pick by Chicago in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was surrounded by much of his team as he was loaded on to the cart.

Bears wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown also got hurt on the first drive. The team said he was in the concussion protocol, and his return was questionable.
