He's on the Texans' depth chart as a reserve linebacker, but their linebacker corps is littered with injuries, meaning Jenkins could be utilized defensively earlier than expected.

Jenkins, released by the Raiders a week ago, signed with Buffalo on Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
The Bills seem pretty set for starters with Preston Brown, Lorenzo Alexander and Ramon Humber, but Jenkins does present some upside as a guy with NFL starting experience.
