According to Jenkins agent, Brian Levy, his client will require immediate surgery on a torn pectoral muscle. Thus, his return this season would be impossible. The 27-year-old, 6’ 2”, 305-lb lineman out of Central Michigan is currently in his 5th NFL season. Jenkins sustained the injury while grabbing Tampa Bay’s QB Brian Griese during a sack attempt early in the fourth quarter last Sunday afternoon. Green Bay Packers officials confirmed the reports that Jenkins is "going to need surgery, so he's going to have to go on injured reserve, the timing couldn't be worse. ... It's a big blow, but he'll come back from this stronger." Jenkins had gotten off to a great start this season as Green Bay's defensive line leader. In four games, Jenkins tallied 2½ sacks, 10 quarterback pressures, 1 forced fumble, and 18 tackles.
