Per twitter, Jenkins tore his ACL last night. Tough break.

I was really looking forward to watchting this guy be the surprise of our draft this year. He looked like he was gonna kill it.

Jarvis Jenkins tore his ACL Thursday night
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 26, 2011, 9:33 AM EDT

The preseason has claimed another victim.

Redskins rookie defensive end Jarvis Jenkins will miss the season with a torn ACL, according to his Twitter account.

The team announced Jenkins had a “knee sprain” last night, but further tests revealed the complete damage.

It’s a bigger blow to the team’s defense than you’d imagine.

Jenkins, a second round pick, had been one of the big surprises of camp. He was starting last night and appeared likely to play ahead of veteran Adam Carriker in the regular season.

This is the nature of the NFL..... tough break. He had promise, so who will step up now...? Put Kerrigan in that spot...???

I would guess Scott and/or Worthington make the team now for certain.

Yet another reason I hate worthless pre-season games....losing players for the entire season due to injuries in pre-season games is so frustrating....

His injury was just pure bad luck is all.

Total stud, I hope he gets well sooner than later and ready for next season.

Yeah, it's a really bad break. By all accounts, Jarvis Jenkins is a great guy and it's tough to see an injury fall on such a promising rookie. He'll probably come through it okay but he'll miss the season for sure. IR it is.

We've still got Carriker, Bowen and Cofield up front but Jenkins figured to be a huge part of the rotation. Maybe one of the other guys will step up?

Doubt it. Seriously. Whoever it is will be serviceable but that's about it.

We finally find a stud on the second round and he blows out his knee before the first game.

As bummed as we are I'm sure he is that X 10!

They'd find out by playing regular season games (as would all the other teams), and at least then if they get injured, it's durng a game that means something...

JJ played LDE,RDE, and NT this pre-season and played well. That"s hard to replace between now and Sept. 11

Really bad break. He was having a great camp and was going to surprise a lot of people this year.

Tough break. Get well big man, I expect big things out of you next season.

HarleyHog · Post by **HarleyHog** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 2:41 pm

I'm bummed.
Was looking forward to having excellent depth at end. Still think we are looking pretty good tho. I guess I'll look forward to his return next season like a bonus upgrade.
