Signed to Eagles' active roster
The Eagles signed Jenkins from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jenkins had already been elevated from the Eagles' practice squad three times this season, the maximum a team is allowed to do so for any given player. Jenkins' signing to the active roster was necessitated by the Eagles being expected to place Dallas Goedert on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee injury. Goedert is expected to be back for the playoffs, but while he is sidelined, Jenkins will serve as Philadelphia's No. 3 tight end behind Grant Calcaterra and C.J. Uzomah, starting with…read more

Jenkins was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jenkins spent time on Philadelphia's practice squad last season and re-signed with the team in January.

However, he's likely facing an uphill battle to do so, with Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra and C.J. Uzomah likely to be kept ahead of him at tight end.

Gets new opportunity
Jenkins signed with the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Jenkins went undrafted in 2023 out of Georgia Tech.

Dropped by Philadelphia

Joins Philly's practice squad
Jenkins is signing with Philadelphia's practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: As if trying to make the NFL as an undrafted free agent wasn't tough enough, Jenkins is doing so while undergoing a position change from wide receiver to tight end. The rookie out of Georgia Tech could be a contributor for Philadelphia down the line, but for now, he'll get a chance to continue learning the tight end position on the Eagles' practice squad.

Waived by Jets
New York will waive Jenkins on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech seems like a strong practice squad candidate, as the Jets knew he'd require ample development when bringing him in shortly after April's draft. The 6-foot-6 wideout-turned-TE could, in time, refine his game and become a useful situational weapon in the red zone.
