Bulldogs in NFL: When former Mississippi State players suit up in Week 11

One former Mississippi State player's NFL season is likely over.

Green Bay's starting center Elgton Jenkins was placed on injured reserve after suffering a fractured fibula in last Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Unfortunately, I’d say it’s highly unlikely,” Packers' coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday when asked about a possible return. “It’s a shame because, shoot, he was one of the first guys we drafted when I got here, and just been through a lot with him, and obviously, a lot of great moments. And it’s a shame, because he’s one of our real leaders on our team.”

Another injured Bulldog in the NFL, Jeffery Simmons has missed the last two games and didn't practice on Wednesday.
