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.
