3 Packers who must step up after David Bakhtiari’s injury

2. Elgton Jenkins

Elgton Jenkins is another possible (but not probably) replacement for Bakhtiari at left tackle. He’s spent most of his time this season at left guard–635 snaps to be exact–but did slide to left tackle for 27 snaps in Week 9 and right tackle for 32 plays in Week 1. And he excelled.

Although Jenkins will likely stay on the inside, where he earned a spot on the Pro Bowl team this year, the Packers will expect more than ever from him moving forward. Spending a lot of time next to the left tackle, Jenkins could be asked to do some more doubling or helping out on that pass rusher while also completing his own responsibilities. It won’t be easy, but Jenkins plate got fuller after this injury.
