Jenkins missed the first four games of the season on injured reserve.

The Bears will get a significant piece of their offensive line back with the return of left guard Teven Jenkins. They activated him from injured reserve in time to play against the Commanders on Thursday.

To make room, the Bears cut third-string quarterback Nathan Peterman. Rookie Tyson Bagent will be the second-stringer for the second straight week.

Safety A.J. Thomas was promoted from the practice squad.

Jenkins injured his right calf in August and went on IR before the season started, requiring him to miss the first four games.
