Jenkins appeared to suffer his knee injury on a third-down run by A.J. Dillon, who slammed into the side of Jenkins’ leg while going to the ground. Jenkins finished the drive but wasn’t on the field for the Packers’ next possession.

The Packers went into Sunday without left tackle David Bakhtiari, who was questionable entering the game. Rasheed Walker and Yosh Nijman have rotated in and out at left tackle.

Matt LaFleur may provide more information on Jenkins’ injury following the contest.
