Packers' Elgton Jenkins suffers non-contact knee injury

The Green Bay Packers suffered a big blow in their game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings as offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins went down with a non-contact injury to his left knee.

According to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Jenkins laterally slid to his left while trying to block Minnesota safety Harrison Smith and went to the ground clutching his left knee right after the play.

Following the injury, the Packers announced that Jenkins was questionable to return.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport later reported that the Packers are fearing Jenkins suffered a torn ACL. Rapoport said Jenkins will undergo an MRI to determine the full extent of the injury.

Green Bay and Minnesota are knotted up at 31-31 with 2:08 remaining in the game at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Packers have been led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has completed 23-of-33 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers release injury report for Vikings matchup

The Green Bay Packers released their final injury report ahead of their Week 11 showdown versus the Minnesota Vikings.

Out: OT David Bakhtiari (knee), WR Malik Taylor (abdomen), RB Aaron Jones (knee), WR Allen Lazard (shoulder), LB Rashan Gary (elbow), S Vernon Scott, DL Jack Heflin.

The Packers will again be without offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, who is still working his way back from a torn ACL. Running back Aaron Jones suffered a knee injury in last week’s game. He will likely miss multiple weeks with the injury, paving the way for more involvement for young running back AJ Dillon. Malik Taylor is also out with an abdomen injury.

Allen Lazard did not practice all week due to a shoulder injury. He will not play on Sunday, meaning that the Packers will be without two key offensive weapons against the Vikings.

Rashan Gary suffered an elbow injury last week against the Seahawks. He was able to practice all week, although in a limited fashion. Gary currently leads the team with 19 quarterback hits and 5.5 sacks. His inclusion on the injury report is concerning for the Packers on defense.

Active: DE Kingsley Keke (concussion)

Kingsley Keke’s status was also uncertain as he works his way back from a concussion. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant on Friday.

Aaron Rodgers had been dealing with a toe injury this week, but was a full-go for the Packers.

“He looked good throwing the football,” LaFleur said Friday. “I’m confident he’ll be in a good place on Sunday.”

Davante Adams, Dominique Dafney, Equanimeous St. Brown, Eric Stokes, Mercedes Lewis, Darnell Savage, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were all listed on the injury report this week but will play.
