Cullen Jenkins will likely miss the rest of the season because he was injured at Tampa Bay. It would have probably have helped the Packers beat Tampa Bay if he had played the whole game.
Brian Levy, Jenkins’ agent, told many news agencies that Jenkins’ torn a pectoral muscle. That muscle will require surgery. Since he is getting the surgery, the he won’t be able to play this season.
Jenkins was injured as he grabbed Brian Griese, Buccaneers quarterback, when he attempted to sack him during the fourth quarter. He got away from Jenkins and completed the pass. Tampa Bay Buccaneers merchandise is expected to sell regardless of the fact that one of their players was hurt.
Jenkins, the Green Bay Packers defensive end, couldn’t lift his right arm above his shoulder.
“He’s going to need surgery, so he’s going to have to go on injured reserve,” Levy told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “The timing couldn’t be worse. It’s a big blow, but he’ll come back from this stronger.”
The Packers franchise didn’t comment about Jenkins. No one knows when an announcement will be made. Ted Thompson, the Packers general manager, was unavailable because he was out scouting.
Jenkins was the leader of the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line. This season, he had 2½ sacks, 10 quarterback pressures, a forced fumble and 18 tackles.
