Janoris Jenkins News
The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins to their practice squad on Monday. Jenkins was released by the Tennessee Titans in March and never latched on with another team until now. In 14 games with the Titans in 2021, Jenkins had 54 tackles (38 solo), an interception, six passes defensed and a forced fumble. The 34-year-old will provide veteran depth for the Niners secondary the rest of the season with Jason Verrett (Achilles) and Emmanuel Moseley (knee) done for the year due to injuries. Jenkins was a Pro Bowler in 2016 with the New York Giants, when he had a sack, 49 tackles (44 solo), five tackles for loss, three interceptions, 18 passes defensed and a forced fumble in 15 starts.
The New Orleans Saints released cornerback Janoris Jenkins on Thursday, according to a source informed of the situation. Jenkins was due a $1.2 million fully guaranteed roster bonus, but before releasing him, the Saints turned it into a signing bonus and spread it out over two years, saving them an extra $600,000 against the salary cap. The veteran defensive back started 13 games for the team in 2020 and was a key member of their shutdown secondary. Cutting the 32-year-old will leave a big hole in New Orleans' secondary next to Marshon Lattimore. The latest move still leaves the Saints over the salary cap threshold, so there will surely be more moves to come as they try to get in under the salary cap for the 2021 season.
New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) left Sunday's contest versus Denver shortly before halftime due to a knee injury before eventually being marked questionable to return. He never did make it back to the field, but it appears that he has avoided a serious knee injury, with Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football reporting that Jenkins will be "fine." Jenkins logged one pass defended before his departure, with the Saints Defense finishing with a dominant performance in their Week 12 win, primarily due to its matchup against a practice squad wide receiver masquerading at quarterback. With Jenkins likely in the mix down the stretch, fantasy managers can continue to rely on a New Orleans defensive unit that entered Sunday having allowed the third-lowest yards per game average in the NFL.
