According to ESPN Dallas, cornerback Mike Jenkins is a candidate to begin the season on the PUP, which would suggest that his rehab from offseason shoulder surgery is not going well. If placed on the PUP, he would have to miss the first 6 games of the season. Jenkins, who has been complaining about his positioning on the depth chart all offseason, and demanding to be traded, is expected to be present when Training Camp opens, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll be practicing.
This is a major hit for his trade value and could mean that Jenkins will remain in Dallas this season as their 3rd or 4th cornerback behind offseason acquisitions Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, much to his dismay. The Cowboys reportedly had interest from 4 suitors in Jenkins earlier this offseason, including Indianapolis and Detroit. They might be wishing they had taken one of those deals, especially if Jenkins has to miss significant time. The 2008 1st round pick and 2009 Pro Bowler is a free agent after the season.
