Any word On The Health Of Jarvis Jenkins ?

[RawRebel]

What is his status right now haven't heard anything about him so far. I thought his ACL should be healed up good right about now.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I cant confirm with a link or anything but i thought i read on twitter if the season started a few weeks ago he would be ready to go.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Great to hear that's he raring to go already.

This is like the QB situation. A whole new, top quality young player we know we have to look forward to before the draft's even made.

Hail.

[SnyderShrugged]

He was mentioned on Sirrius NFL yesterday as ready for June 1 and the staff is excited

I remember seeing the samething.. A few weeks ago it was said that if a game where that day (I think it was some time in early February) that he would be ready to play...

[mr_apropos]

I don't have a link but on my drive home yesterday the guys on SiriusXM - NFL channel interviewed Bruce Allen at the Owner's Meetings. They asked him about Jenkins and I believe he said that Jenkins has been rehabbing and will be ready to go.

I hope so, that dude was a monster at Clemson and will make a big difference on our D-Line. In some ways, I think the injury is kind of a blessing for him. He got a year to sit back and absorb the scheme without beating up his body. I think (hope) he'll be a smarter player because of it.

[cphil006]

I heard during the season he was hitting rehab pretty hard and making a fast recovery. He sounded motivated.

[Backpack3r]

I hope he is ready to go at full strength at the start of the season (looks that way), i was really excited about what the 2nd round pick could do for us last year.

He looked ready to play to me so I would think a year of experience would be more valuable than a year rehabbing. Either way its good to be getting him back.

[DeadExField]

do you guys think he plays the full games or a full season, or do we ease him in and rotate him due to the injury. Basically is it the type of thing that should heal up like it never happened?

[BeefJerky]

Jenkins strengthens a already deep, and quality D-line. I see big things from him for years to come. Him and Carriker are the perfect rotation!

[Voice_of_Reason]

I went to a "state of the franchise" thing with Bruce Allen a month or two ago, and he said that Jenkins was way ahead of schedule, and might have even been ready to play at the end of last season. Clearly, that wasn't going to happen with him on IR, but all signs pointed to him being full strength.

You can search for my thread (I'm in India on vacation and interwebs are SLOW) for the exact quotes.

[The Full Monty]

I really believe Jenkins is gonna be the disruptive force on the line that will only make Rak and Kerrigan's jobs easier.

[RSimports]

I can't find the link but I read an article during the season that stated he was hitting rehab very hard and was going to be stronger upon return and he was doing a lot of film study on top of the rehab. I wish I could find the article it was an amazing read and got me very excited about his potential this year!

Impressed your able to post and not constantly sat over a toilet somewhere man, but I digrerss ..... yeah, I remember you posting that at the time and a few questions as to why we IR'd him from some. :doh:

Hail.

This, I hope he can stay healthy.

[GhostofSparta]

For young, in-shape athletes, it takes less than a full year at this point to recover from an ACL injury. The one benefit of losing Jenkins in pre-season, especially early in the pre-season, is that he's had extra time to recover compared to a guy like Mendenhall, who got injured in January. He had the surgery and had the whole season to rehab and strength train with the staff, which is a huge plus going into next year.

[acuratl1984]

Having Jenkins Cofield Bowen as the starting DL will be awesome.

I think with his 2nd year in the 3-4 Cofield will only get better.
Bowen had a career year last year, and with an off-season I think he will be better as well.
Jenkins will come in and just make the whole line better.

Carriker is good depth, and hopefully we have a Rookie or one of our DE shows up big.

Cofield was good last year, without the time to put on the weight/mass that a NT really needs. Now that he has time to bulk up, he should only get better.

I'm pretty sure Carriker and Bowen go into the year as the starters. Jenkins will more than likely take the spot later in the season, but he'll start as depth.

‏ @Rich_Campbell Shanahan said he's at full speed and will be ready for start of offseason program RT @DCRezz: @rich_campbell: Any updates on Jarvis Jenkins?

I can also see us drafting a DE this year, assuming that Golston isn't coming back.

[Pedro]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jenkins being our go to DE right from the start on the left side. Carriker will still get plenty of snaps in the rotation but when we need our best guys out there it will be Jenkins/Cofield/Bowen imo.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes against Trent 1 on 1 now he is a year stronger. With Cofield a year in and the addition of Jenkins our DL is going to be up there with the best.

[Pedro]

“My bench press is higher than it’s ever been,” Jenkins said. “Coaches can tell that I got stronger. Coming out of the combine I did 19 [repetitions] at 225 pounds. Now I can do 225 pounds like 32 times. It was a real blessing just to focus on getting my upper body strong.”

That's pretty scary seeing as though he had no problem moving guys around when I saw him in preseason last year.

[Koolblue13]

Our D line was very solid for a bunch of first year in a 3-4 guys who never played together before. If they can remain that solid and improve a bit, while Jenkins can come in and add a disruptive aspect that wasn't there last year, it'll be a real force and really free up our OLBs to get more pressure too.

Our defense is really going to surprise a lot of people this year.

Yeah I saw that. Very excited. He's wearing a knee brace right now and says he needs to adjust it a lot. So I doubt he enters the season as a starter. But he's still fantastic depth. I'm pretty excited.

Schawiiiiiiiing!!!

So pumped for this kid, debating a Jenkins jersey...

Pretty cool read too to hear about his rehab, and how his brother had to help him through it. I always like hearing back stories like this that show the humanity of these guys....cool stuff.

[wrecker]

Can't wait to watch Jarvis Jack-you-up Jenkins play.
He said he wants to be the most dominant DL on the field.

[MLSKINS]

I was so devastated when he got hurt last year. Nice to see that he is back, and presumably, better than ever. :D

[Dan T.]

Okay, how good is Jarvis Jenkins going to be, really? From what I recall, we saw brief flashes, but not much more before he got hurt. I ask because I remember similar expectations when we got Jeremy Jarmon with a third round supplemental draft pick out of Kentucky in 2009. The Skins traded him to Denver for Jabar Gaffney in July 2011, and the Broncos cut him that September. He is currently out of football...Gaffney's schlong is longer that Jarmon's NFL career.

Maybe Jarmon/Jenkins is a bad comparison. Tell me why.

[UltimateSkins]

Jenkins has been hulking up during his rehab. He can now bench 225 32 times. At the combine he could only bench it 19 times. Dude is gonna be an animal.

Jim Zorn/Vinny Cerrato.

Mike Shanahan/Bruce Allen.

The major difference for me, is that Jarmon was drafted in the 3rd round of the supplemental draft. And Jenkins was the 2nd round pick in the regular draft.

I think we've got way to high of expectations on Jenkins, but I think he's going to be a above average-good player for 10+ years. I personally thought he was really good in the pre-season, but that's just me.

[DCchillin89]

Different players coming out of college. Jarmon was a prototype 4-3 DE. Jenkins was space eater, allowing DE's like Bowers to pile up the sacks. Jarmon might've been a good player but he was just drafted at the worst possible point for the Redskins. He just drafted by Cerrato to play 4-3 did not fit the 3-4. Constantly switching positions (4-3 DE, 3-4 OLB, 3-4 DE) under Shanny and blowing out his knee cost him his career I think. Jarvis was a high pick because Shanahan knew how he would fit in the Defense, he inherited Jarmon and couldn't make him fit.

[Dan T.]

Jarmon's draft projection was higher until he was suspended for his senior year because of a positive test for a banned supplement. He purchased it over the counter, and self reported the violation, but the NCAA suspended him for the year anyway, so he declared for the NFL draft.

Eh. Still different kids drafted under different circumstances. Anyone who's been suspended for the year in the NCAA, doesn't have the best chance in the pros.

Because they're completely different people and players?

Yet the over exuberance on this board as to their potential is eerily similar.

[LD0506]

Damn Dan, let us have our "over-enthusiastic pre-preseason hooplapalooza" for a while before you go smackin' us upside the head with the reality stick

[icbmayday]

He will be starting by week 1 just my guess

What young player does this board not get excited about? :ols:

:ols: You are right. Nothing wrong with a little off-season optimism. That's what makes sports fun and - sometimes - bearable. And after all, Jenkins did show flashes...

[LD0506]

People were doing this months ago and didn't want to hear anything then about how it's usually your 2nd year back before you really get over a lig tear, so I don't expect to know anything one way or the other this year.

But after getting bent over with the cap thing and seeing charges dismissed because "we were askin for it", I am tolerant of anything people need here to get by.

[pjfootballer]

The difference to me in Jenkins and Jarmon is, Jarmon looked hesitant and lost, while Jenkins looked like he was hungry and belonged in this defense. I know it was just preseason, but that's all we have to go by for Jenkins. Also, he was a rookie and still continued to come to team meetings to learn while he was on the shelf. I have no ill will against Jarmon, but I see a better, hungrier, physically better player in Jenkins than Jarmon.

Also, for laughs, you can say Vinny pick vs. Shanallen pick.
