Jenkins is “week-to-week” according to GM Ryan Poles, but putting him on IR opens a roster spot.
The Bears have just five players among the top 200 salary-cap numbers in the NFL, and Poles needs them to play up to their contracts for the team to contend for a playoff spot.
Gipson, a fifth-round pick by Ryan Pace in 2020, is fourth-string at his position and likely will be waived by Tuesday if the Bears can’t trade him.
Even though he is on the comeback trail, a reunion bringing former Bears running back Tarik Cohen back to Chicago isn't in the cards.
The diminutive running back, a fan favorite in four seasons with the Bears, hasn’t played since suffering a knee injury on a punt return in Week 3 of the 2020 season. Finally healthy after tearing his Achilles last year, he has drawn interest from “multiple teams.”
