Jenkins was released by the Cowboys, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jenkins reportedly made a late push for a roster spot, but the No. 5 wide receiver job went to undrafted rookie Rodney Whitehead. The former first-round pick may continue to get chances, but his draft status shouldn't be mistaken for upside, as there's been no indication that he's anything more than a borderline NFL player

Jenkins is making a late push for a roster spot, DallasCowboys.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Devin Street has been nursing an ankle injury, and Jenkins has been the player to take advantage of the added reps. Lucky Whitehead is likely still the slight favorite to win the No. 5 receiver job due to his ability as a kick returner, but Jenkins could be doing enough late in camp to get picked up by another team if he does get cut by the Cowboys.

Jenkins has signed with the Cowboys, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports. A surprising first-round selection by the 49ers in 2012, Jenkins never panned out in San Francisco or Kansas City, despite playing for teams that were far from loaded at his position. He has good speed and decent size (6-0, 200 pounds), but he'll likely be facing an uphill battle to earn one of the final roster spots in Dallas.

Jenkins was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.A former-first round draft pick of the 49ers, Jenkins was traded for fellow first-round bust Jon Baldwin in August of 2013. Neither receiver ended up making an impact in his new home, with Jenkins unable to take advantage of his team's glaring lack of talent at the position. His status as a former first-rounder shouldn't be mistaken for upside, as Jenkins is a one-dimensional speedster who was widely viewed as a reach in the 2012 draft. He'll generate some kind of interest as a free agent, but will presumably have to compete for a roster spot in training camp.
