Packers Star Gets Dumped by Girlfriend Just 24 Hours After Being Moved from Active Roster to IR

Can the Patriots Go All the Way? Ashley Haas' NFL Week 10 Recap ft. John  Hansen


Green Bay Packers fans were already stunned by the team’s announcement that one of their most vital offensive line pieces had been officially placed on the Injured Reserve list due to a serious leg injury. But just one day later, another unexpected twist sent shockwaves through the NFL world — the player reportedly went through a breakup with his girlfriend while still recovering on crutches.

Sources close to the situation confirmed that the breakup occurred quietly within 24 hours after the player was carted off the field during the Packers' 7 to 10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Initially diagnosed as an ankle injury, further medical evaluations revealed a fractured lower left leg, forcing the player into long-term recovery.

Head coach Matt LaFleur later told reporters it is “highly unlikely” the player will return for the rest of the 2025 season and called the situation "a real shame."

That’s when the name Elgton Jenkins was officially revealed.


💔 Season-ending injury followed by personal heartbreak

Elgton Jenkins, 29, is widely regarded as one of the Packers’ most versatile and reliable offensive linemen. A two-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro selection, he has played multiple positions across the line and had appeared in nine games this season prior to the injury.

Reports indicate that Jenkins’ relationship had already been under strain due to a demanding schedule and mounting emotional pressure. After being placed on IR and ruled out indefinitely, the couple decided to part ways. The breakup reportedly happened shortly after he left the stadium following the injury.

OL Elgton Jenkins agrees to 4-year contract extension


🧱 Packers adjust in the face of adversity

Jenkins’ absence leaves a significant hole in the Packers’ offensive line, a unit already dealing with depth issues throughout the season. In response, the team signed veteran OL Lecitus Smith back to the practice squad as a short-term fix. With a record of 5-3-1 heading into the second half of the season, Green Bay is in the thick of a playoff push and must quickly adapt — starting with a key matchup against the New York Giants in Week 11.

With both physical and emotional wounds in play, Jenkins’ story has drawn widespread sympathy from fans. Many across social media have sent their support, hoping for his full recovery on and off the field.

Broncos 22 - 19 Chiefs Week 11 Recap: Mahomes fights to the end but Denver’s defense steals the spotlight
The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Denver Broncos in a tight 22 - 19 battle in Week 11 at Empower Field at Mile High. Even though the outcome disappointed Chiefs Kingdom, the game delivered plenty of highlight plays, intensity, and strong performances from Kansas City’s key players. 1. Final Score and Game Flow The Broncos jumped ahead 6 3 in the first quarter with steady ball control and a balanced run attack. The Chiefs kept the game within reach but had trouble breaking through Denver’s strong pass rush and physical man coverage. The turning point came in the third quarter. After Denver completed an 80 plus yard drive capped by a Jaleel McLaughlin rushing touchdown, Patrick Mahomes immediately answered. Mahomes launched a nearly 60 yard bomb to Tyquan Thornton, setting up a powerful goal line run from Kareem Hunt to tie the game at 13 13. From there, both teams traded blows. Denver added multiple field goals to regain the lead, while the Chiefs struggled to finish drives inside the red zone. On the final drive of the game, Mahomes pushed the offense down the field with urgency, but Denver’s defense held firm and prevented a comeback. Final score: Broncos 22, Chiefs 19. 2. Best Moments of the Game Mahomes creates magic with a 60 yard strike Escaping pressure and leaning sideways as he released the ball, Mahomes connected with Tyquan Thornton for one of the cleanest deep shots of the afternoon. Kareem Hunt’s powerful touchdown With several running backs unavailable, Hunt stepped up with energy and physicality. His goal line score gave the Chiefs momentum when they needed it most. Crucial interception by the Broncos One of the game’s biggest swings came when Mahomes had a pass jumped by Denver’s secondary during a key possession. Kansas City’s defense brings heat Chris Jones and the Chiefs defense consistently disrupted Denver’s backfield with timely pressure and key tackles, keeping the team alive until the final whistle. 3. Kansas City Chiefs Standout Players Patrick Mahomes Mahomes delivered trademark brilliance with multiple escape plays and big time throws that kept Kansas City competitive. Tyquan Thornton One of the brightest performers on offense. His deep catch in the third quarter changed the momentum and set up a Chiefs touchdown.

Chiefs defense Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie, and Leo Chenal all had critical snaps that slowed Denver’s offense at key moments. 4. Chiefs Kingdom Takeaway Even in defeat, there were plenty of positives for Kansas City. The offense still showed its explosive potential and Mahomes reminded the league why he remains the most dangerous QB in football. Red zone execution and avoiding costly turnovers will be the main focus moving forward. The 22 19 loss emphasizes how competitive the AFC West has become, but the Chiefs are far from out. With Mahomes at the center and improving chemistry on offense, Kansas City remains positioned to surge again. 5. Final Thoughts The Week 11 matchup between the Chiefs and Broncos was a thriller that came down to discipline, execution, and late game stops. While the Chiefs could not complete the comeback, the fight, energy, and flashes of dominance should keep Chiefs Kingdom confident. Mahomes has bounced back from adversity before. Expect Kansas City to respond with urgency next week.
