    Chicago Bears Injury News Gives Green Bay Packers Massive Break For Week 1

    The Green Bay Packers caught a massive break with breaking news coming out about a Chicago Bears starter Sunday night. The Bears and Packers will meet in Week 1 of the regular season.

    Packers News

    The matchup between the two rivals has extra anticipation this season. This is the first game between the Bears and Packers during the post-Aaron-Rodgers-Green Bay era. It will also be Jordan Love’s first start as the full-time starter for the Packers.

    Bears quarterback Justin Fields has struggled with consistency during his first two years in the NFL. The Bears reworked their offensive line this offseason. They signed free agent Nate Davis and drafted Darnell Wright with the tenth-overall pick in April’s draft.

    But the offensive line was dealt a major blow.

    The Green Bay Packers caught a major break for Week 1

    According to Brad Biggs with the Chicago Tribune, starting offensive guard Teven Jenkins sustained a leg injury. He’s expected to miss up to six weeks:

    “Multiple sources told the Tribune that left guard Teven Jenkins could miss time in the first month with a leg injury.

    The Bears have been particularly guarded with injury information and did not reveal why Jenkins briefly missed time earlier in training camp. He did not play in Saturday’s 24-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, but coach Matt Eberflus elected to rest nearly all of his first-team players.

    Injuries have marred Jenkins’ first two seasons and it’s possible the latest issue could keep him out six weeks.”

    Teven Jenkins is the Chicago Bears’ best offensive lineman

    Jenkins, arguably the Bears’ best offensive lineman last season, has struggled to stay healthy during his first two seasons in the NFL. The Bears were hoping he could turn the corner in year three and help the offensive line show much-needed improvement from the previous two seasons.

    However, that offensive line might look good until October. The Packers will be able to take advantage of a weaker Bears offensive line in Week 1. The Packers’ defensive line and pass rush should be rocking for the matchup, as Rashan Gary is expected to make his return to the field against Chicago.
