On the Green Bay Packers’ final drive of the first half of Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles, which ended in a Jordan Love sack-fumble, the Packers lost their starting center, Elgton
Jenkins, on a sack earlier that drive. Jenkins was able to stand gingerly on his leg following the injury, but he was ultimately carted to the locker room before the end of the half. Officially, the Packers are calling Jenkins’ injury an ankle injury.
Without Jenkins, the new center for Green Bay is Sean Rhyan, who has previously rotated in and out at right guard with Jordan Morgan. Rhyan had not played a single center snap in the 2025 regular season before tonight. Rhyan was also Aaron Banks’ injury replacement last week, which means that it’s a question mark on who will sub in at guard or center if the Packers sustain another injury on the interior line.
The only backup offensive linemen who remain for Green Bay, at this point, are Darian Kinnard and Anthony Belton. Belton has been playing as the backup left tackle this year, while Kinnard has been the backup right tackle.
Famously, the Packers struggled last year against the Eagles in the playoffs when Jenkins dropped out of action. His replacements, both Travis Glover and Kadeem Telfort, did not look NFL-ready. Glover, a rookie, was penalized three times before being replaced by Telfort, who ended up allowing two pressures and a quarterback hit in that loss.
We’ll keep you updated when there’s more information available on Jenkins’ status.
