The Green Bay Packers had one of the best offensive lines in football entering the season, particularly on the left side with David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins. However, that lasted a whopping four quarters following an MCL sprain to Jenkins.

After the game, it was announced he sprained his MCL in his left leg, the same leg he previously tore his ACL in. His timetable is unknown, but he’s expected to miss several weeks.
