Jenkins was selected by the

special teams for the Bears against the Arizona Cardinals on December 5.[16] Jenkins saw his first career plays on offense during Week 14, after left tackle Jason Peters suffered an injury.[17] Jenkins made his first NFL career start the next week, against the Minnesota Vikings.[17]

During the 2022 preseason, the Bears chose to switch Jenkins from offensive tackle to right guard.[18] He started 11 games at right guard before being placed on injured reserve on January 4, 2023.[19]

On April 11, 2023, Jenkins announced that he would be moving to left guard for the upcoming season, ceding the right guard position to offseason signee Nate Davis.[20] Due to a calf injury, he was placed on injured reserve on August 31.[21] Jenkins was activated for their Week 5 game against the Washington Commanders.[22]
