Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins is coming off the non-football injury list on Monday.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Jenkins will be limited to individual drills to ramp up. Green Bay placed Jenkins on the NFI list ahead of training camp amid his contract dispute with the team.
Jenkins is moving from left guard to center this season to replace Josh Myers. Jenkins is seeking an adjusted contract to reflect the current market for his new position. Jenkins has two years remaining on a four-year, $68 million contract signed in 2022, but none of it is guaranteed.
At an average annual salary of $17 million per year, Jenkins' current deal would make him the second-highest-paid center in the NFL -- tied with Cam Jurgens (Eagles) -- behind only Chiefs All-Pro Creed Humphrey ($18 million).
'Elgton's always done right by us, I think we've always done right by him,' Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters last week.
Jenkins turns 30 in December and bumps inside to make room for free agent addition Aaron Banks to play left guard. The Packers also selected offensive linemen Anthony Belton (54th overall) and seventh-rounder John Williams in their 2025 draft class.
Jenkins was a second-round pick in 2019 and played center in college. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has started 85 of his 87 games with the Packers.
