Bears' Teven Jenkins: Out Week 16
Jenkins (neck) is officially inactive for Saturday's game against the Bills.
Jenkins went to the hospital after suffering the neck injury last week versus the Eagles, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game.

Fellow starting guard Cody Whitehair (knee) is also inactive, leaving Michael Schofield and Alex Leatherwood to likely step into starting roles Saturday.

Bears' Teven Jenkins: Unlikely to play Saturday
Jenkins (neck) was listed as doubtful on the Bears' final injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against the Bills.
Jenkins was carted off with a brace on his neck after going down during Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The second-year offensive lineman was then limited during practice to begin Week 16 prep before logging back-to-back DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, so it's not surprising to see he'll likely sit out at least one game due to this injury. As a result, either Alex Leatherwood or Michael Schofield should be in line to start at right guard Saturday versus Buffalo.

Bears' Teven Jenkins: Doing well after scary injury
Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Jenkins was transported to a local hospital after he was carted off with a neck injury during Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles, but that he received an encouraging evaluation on this injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The exact nature of Jenkins' injury is still unknown, though Eberflus added that "everything looks positive" with regards to the issue, according to Adam Jahns of The Athletic. It will be worth monitoring the right guard's status heading into Saturday's matchup against Buffalo. Jenkins has started 10 of his 12 games this season, so his potential absence would leave Chicago's already depleted offensive line even more undermanned moving forward.

Bears' Teven Jenkins: Forced out Sunday
Jenkins was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Eagles with a neck injury.
Jenkins was attended to on the field for some time after going down in the first quarter, and he eventually had to be carted off to the locker room with his neck in a brace, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. In his stead, Michael Schofield has stepped in at right guard for Chicago, per Cronin. While the exact nature of this neck injury is still unclear, the serious manner of Jenkins' departure could indicate he's in jeopardy of missing this coming Saturday's contest against Buffalo.
