Records 3.0 sacks in rookie season Jenkins played in 15 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 31 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks.
Impact Jenkins was selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 49th overall. He missed the first two games of the regular season after undergoing a procedure on his thumb, but he was able to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Commanders in Week 3. He logged his first NFL sack in Week 9 against the Raiders, and he had arguably his best game in Week 16 against the Browns when he registered 2.0 sacks on Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Jenkins could join fellow rookie McKinnley Jackson as the Bengals' starting defensive tackles in 2025 if veteran B.J. Hill opts to leave in free agency.

Active for NFL debut Jenkins (thumb) is active for Monday night's game against Washington.
Impact This will be Jenkins' NFL debut after he missed the first two games of the season. Jenkins was a second-round pick by Cincinnati in the 2024 NFL Draft. He'll be needed with both Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) and B.J. Hill (hamstring) out Monday night.

Draws questionable tag for Week 3 Jenkins (thumb) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jenkins was limited during the first two practices of the week, but the fact he participated without restrictions Saturday bodes well for his chances of playing Monday. Starting defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) and B.J. Hill (hamstring) are listed as out and doubtful, respectively. If Hill cannot play, then Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter will be the starting defensive tackles for Monday's game, while Jenkins and Lawrence Guy will provide depth in rotation.

Limited in practice Friday Jenkins (thumb) was a limited participant in Friday's practice session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jenkins underwent surgery for a thumb injury he sustained in practice leading up to Week 1 against the Patriots. He's been sidelined for the first two games of the regular season, but the rookie second-round pick managed to log back-to-back limited practice sessions to start the week. That bodes well for his chance of suiting up for his NFL debut Monday against the Commanders.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out again for Week 2 Jenkins (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact The second-round rookie needed surgery on his thumb last week and will have to wait at least another week before making his NFL debut. B.J. Hill, Sheldon Rankins, Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter will handle the reps along the interior of Cincinnati's defensive line.

Needs surgery, out for Week 1 Jenkins (thumb) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jenkins requires surgery to address a thumb issue sustained in practice this week, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Coach Zac Taylor said the rookie second-round pick will be evaluated at practice next week, though, so it sounds like Jenkins could be a candidate to play as early as Week 2 versus the Chiefs.
