The Green Bay Packers placed center Elgton Jenkins on injured reserve on Tuesday due to a leg injury and he will miss at least four games.
ESPN reported that Jenkins, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, fractured his fibula and could be out for longer.
He was hurt when quarterback Jordan Love rolled into his leg while Love was being tackled late in the first half of a 10-7 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The team announced that Jenkins injured his ankle and he was replaced for the rest of the game by Sean Rhyan.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said after the game that the injury 'doesn't sound promising.'
Jenkins, 29, started nine games at center this season and 94 of 96 regular-season games since 2019 at guard, tackle or center. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2020 (left guard) and 2022 (left guard/right tackle) before moving this season to center.
Green Bay selected Jenkins in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State.
In a corresponding move on Tuesday, the Packers signed linebacker Kristian Welch from the practice squad to the active roster.
Welch, 27, has played in two games this season and has one tackle. He was in on 60% of the special teams snaps. He has played in 74 career regular-season games (two starts) for the Baltimore Ravens (2020-22, 2024), Denver Broncos (2024) and Packers (2023, 2025).
