Jenkins is in the final year of his current contract. He was drafted out of Mississippi State by the Packers with the 44th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020, and is an alternate for this season’s Pro Bowl.
Jenkins is having a bounce-back season after tearing his ACL last year, and has missed just two games.
With Jenkins blocking this season, the Packers have averaged 126.3 rushing yards and 219.3 passing yards per game. The offensive line has allowed 27 sacks.
The Packers confirmed the extension Friday morning.
