In his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that center Elgton Jenkins, who was placed on the injured reserve on Tuesday, is “highly unlikely” to return to the team in 2025. ESPN’s Rob Demovsky had previously reported that Jenkins’ fractured leg diagnosis could have led to a quicker return to the field than an ankle ligament issue, which is what the injury was originally called by the Packers on gameday.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Jenkins not only has a fracture in his lower leg, near his ankle, but also has “some ligament damage” in the area. He’s set to have surgery to fix the issue, per Fowler. There’s some optimism that Jenkins could return for the postseason, “but that’s probably an optimistic view,” added Fowler.
