Chalk Talk: Has Jenkins ever played left tackle Chicago Bears Larry Mayer Wondering about a player, a past game or another issue involving the Bears? Senior writer Larry Mayer answers a variety of questions from fans on ChicagoBears.com. With the Bears releasing Charles Leno Jr., I'm assuming they plan to play second-round pick Teven Jenkins at left tackle. Has Jenkins ever played left tackle? I thought he was a right tackle at Oklahoma State. David B. Beloit, Wisconsin Teven Jenkins played more games at right tackle than left tackle at Oklahoma State, but he did line up at both positions. He started 10 games at right tackle and three at left tackle as a sophomore in 2018 and followed by opening nine contests at right tackle and three at left tackle as a junior in 2019. It's my understanding that Oklahoma State moved him to left tackle last spring and that's where he practiced the entire offseason. He then started the Cowboys' opener against Tulsa at left tackle, but Oklahoma State lost starting right tackle Hunter Anthony to an injury in the game. Because Jenkins' backup, Jake Springfield, is a natural left tackle, he was inserted at that position with Jenkins moving to right tackle. But, as I mentioned, Jenkins has experience at both tackle positions.
