Bears starting right guard Teven Jenkins returned to full participation in practice Wednesday at Halas Hall and said afterward that he fully expects to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
Just 10 days ago, Jenkins was carted off the grass at Soldier Field and transported to a local hospital after suffering a scary neck injury in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The injury happened on the game's first possession, moments after kickoff, and left the home fans in stunned silence. Jenkins' teammates left the bench and showed their support for their injured teammate, standing near where he lay on the field.
It very well could've been a major injury. Medical staff across the NFL are always extremely cautious with neck injuries because they can be so dangerous. "I never imagined myself to be injured like that, especially getting carted off," Jenkins said."Any time I can, I'm going to try to get off the field if I'm hurt or injured. That was one of those instances where they told me to stay down because it's a neck injury. You have to keep it stable."
The team could certainly use Jenkins, who has emerged as one of its best linemen this season. Jenkins noted that he was very grateful to his teammates for their show of support in the aftermath of the injury.
