Jenkins was waived by the Chiefs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins joined the Chiefs last season and re-signed with the team in March, serving as a rotational defensive end. Justin Hamilton and Derrick Nnadi remain as depth option on the defensive line behind starters Chris Jones, Allen Bailey and Xavier Williams.

Jenkins put pen to paper Wednesday on a two-year deal to remain with the Chiefs, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins slotted in as a reserve defensive end for the Chiefs in 2017, playing mainly when the regulars needed a breather. He should serve Kansas City in a similar role during 2018 with Allen Bailey, Chris Jones (knee) and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle) all returning.

Jenkins (knee) is listed as active for Saturday's playoff tilt against the Titans, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins will primarily serve as depth at defensive end for the contest. He could see some extra snaps due to Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle) being ruled out.

Jenkins (knee) is questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging a full practice on Thursday, Jenkins remains questionable for the contest. Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle) is also doubtful for the contest, which could leave the Chiefs defensive line in short supply. Look for more updates on Jenkins status to come Saturday once inactives are announced.

Jenkins (elbow) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins exited last Sunday's matchup with the Chargers due to an elbow injury and never returned to the game. His full participation Wednesday suggests that situation is no longer a concern in advance of the Chiefs' Week 16 date with the Dolphins.

Jenkins sustained an elbow injury in Saturday's 30-13 win over the Chargers and didn't return.
EDGE Analysis
A rotational defensive end, Jenkins has recorded just seven tackles and a sack in nine appearances this season. The Chiefs should know more regarding the extent of Jenkins' injury within a few days, but if he's forced to miss games with the elbow issue, it wouldn't register as a major blow to the Kansas City defense.

Jenkins signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins played with Kansas City for the final seven games of the 2016 season, recording just five tackles. In what will be his first fool season with the club, look for Jenkins to see a slightly increased role as a backup defensive lineman.

Jenkins signed with the Chiefs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins was waived by the Jets prior to Week 10 after playing a minimal role with the team. The veteran will presumably provide depth on the defensive line going forward. The Chiefs opted to waive defensive tackle David King in a correlated roster move.

Jenkins was released by the Jets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Signed to a two-year, $6 million contract in March, Jenkins played a minimal role for the Jets this season to the tune of about 20 snaps per game. However, management presumably felt those snaps were better spent on up-and-coming talent rather than a veteran, evidenced by the fact that Jenkins isn't known to be dealing with injury coupled with how the team signed third-year DL Anthony Johnson to take his place.

Jenkins sat out of practice on Monday for an undisclosed reason.
EDGE Analysis
It is unclear what issue caused Jenkins to miss practice Monday. He played a limited role in Sunday's loss to the Jets. Expect an update on his status when more information is made available.
