The 2017 fourth-round pick out of Bucknell spent the first two seasons of his career with the Texans, including a 2018 campaign where he started 15 games. He was included in the Dolphins/Texans Laremy Tunsil trade in 2019, and he started eight games during his first season in Miami. However, despite dressing for every game, he was limited to only five percent of his team’s offensive snaps in 2020.
The lineman spent the 2021 season in Indy, and he started four of his nine games for the Colts. The 27-year-old also had a part-time role on special teams.
2021 second-round Teven Jenkins currently sits atop the Bears depth chart at left tackle, and he’ll likely get the first shot at the starting gig. Davenport will provide some veteran competition, with 2020 seventh-round pick Lachavious Simmons also vying for a role.
Oh thank God the colts can’t bring him back now
Here’s the Answer

It was only to be used by company.
oh how times have changed… what’s company? lmao
Jenkins is gonna get moved to right tackle where he belongs, not sayin Davenports the answer or isn’t, I just think the left tackle spot is up for grabs between him and Borom and I guess Simmons and possibly a draft pick, Jenkins is a perfect right tackle and the only reason he was moved to left is because Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy are possibly the worst gm/head coach combo of all time in any sport
