JORDAN JENKINS NEWS

Placed on IR Jenkins was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Jenkins signed with the Raiders on Wednesday, but he'll be unavailable for the entire 2022 campaign after sustaining a torn ACL in the second quarter of Saturday's preseason win over the Dolphins. He also dealt with a calf injury earlier in the offseason and will now face a lengthy recovery process ahead of the 2023 season.

Joins Las Vegas Jenkins signed a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was activated from the PUP list and released by the Texans earlier this week, and it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new team. Jenkins played in 11 games for Houston last season and totaled 20 tackles (nine solo) and 2.5 sacks.

Let go with injury designation Jenkins (calf) was waived with an injury designation by the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Jenkins, who'd been on the PUP list, will get a chance to latch onto a new team before his season is potentially over after reverting to Houston's IR. The 2016 third-round pick has appeared in double-digit games and registered at least 20 tackles across his first six years in the NFL and has 24.5 career sacks -- including 15 during a two-year run (2018-19) with the Jets.

Shifted to active/PUP list Jenkins (ankle) was added to the active/physically unable to perform list by the Texans on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Jenkins will not be eligible to practice or play in the preseason until he is activated from this list by Houston -- a move the team can make at any point before the final roster cutdown date. If not, the veteran defensive end, who played 11 games for the Texans in 2021, will be forced to miss the first four contests of the regular season.

Suffers injury Jenkins suffered an ankle injury in the Texans' loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Impact Jenkins was considered questionable to return but the game has since concluded.

Ready to play Jenkins (knee) was cleared from the Texans' injury report Friday.

Impact Jenkins returned from COVID protocols Thursday, but appeared on the injury report due to a knee issue that limited him in practice. After getting in a full practice Friday, Jenkins should return to his rotational role on the defensive line Sunday against the 49ers.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Exits COVID protocol Jenkins was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday but was limited in practice due to a knee injury.

Impact With fellow defensive end Jonathan Greenard (foot) also exiting the COVID protocol Wednesday, Jenkins will likely work in a reserve role Sunday against the 49ers, assuming both players are able to suit up for Houston.

Gets positive COVID-19 result Jenkins tested positive for the coronavirus Thursday and will be placed on the Texans' reserve/COVID-19 list, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Jenkins, cornerback Lonnie Johnson, safety Eric Murray and defensive tackle Roy Lopez are among the Texans who tested positive Thursday, bringing the organization's total number of players on the reserve/COVID-19 list or practice squad/COVID-19 list up to 22. After tearing the PCL of his left knee Nov. 21 against the Titans, Jenkins was activated from injured reserve last week and played 31 snaps on defense in Houston's win over Jacksonville. Even if he's vaccinated, Jenkins will face an uphill battle to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Activated for Week 15 Jenkins (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Jenkins has missed the last three weeks with a torn PCL. He'll return to a depth role on the Texans' defensive line.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return from IR The Texans designated Jenkins (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Jenkins tore his PCL in Week 11 and has spent the last three weeks on injured reserve. After returning to practice Wednesday, he will have 21 days to be added to the active roster. However, if he isn't activated, then he will revert back to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on IR The Texans placed Jenkins (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Jenkins was expected to miss at least three weeks after tearing his PCL, so this transaction doesn't come as a surprise. Derek Rivers is the only backup defensive end behind Jonathan Greenard (foot) and Jacob Martin on the Texans' roster, so Rivers will likely be thrust into an expanded role during Jenkins' absence.

Impact Jenkins isn't expected to need surgery, but a trip to injured reserve is expected. Derek Rivers is the only backup defensive end behind Jonathan Greenard and Jacob Martin on the Texans roster, so Rivers will likely be thrust into an expanded role during Jenkins' absence.

Registers first sack of season Jenkins registered four tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Through seven games this season, Jenkins has totaled 16 tackles and 1.5 sacks, but a large portion of that production came Sunday. The 27-year-old defensive end likely won't be a viable IDP option when the Texans return from their Week 10 bye to face the Titans.
