Rayshawn Jenkins: Released by Pittsburgh
The Steelers released Jenkins on Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Jenkins started the regular season at strong safety before being benched for Robert Spears-Jennings in Week 5. The veteran defensive back was likely seen as expendable, with DeShon Elliott (knee) set to return from IR soon and reclaim his starting role at strong safety.

Steelers' Rayshawn Jenkins: Signs with Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed Jenkins to a contract Saturday, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.
Jenkins' production has been consistently falling season by season, but the 10-year veteran brings experience and versatility that cannot be ignored. The safety will likely fulfill more of a leadership role as a depth addition, with DeShon Elliott and Jaquan Brisker handling most of the starting reps.

Browns' Rayshawn Jenkins: Production drops again in 2025
Jenkins tallied 45 total tackles (19 solo), one interception and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
The 31-year-old from Miami has seen vast declines in several statistical categories over the past two seasons, recording fewer total tackles (101 to 45), sacks (1.0 to none), passes defensed (nine to one) and interceptions (two to one) compared to his 2023 campaign with the Jaguars. However, Jenkins played a much smaller role on the Browns defense in 2025, logging just 276 defensive snaps, his lowest mark since 2018. Set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Jenkins could find work as a reserve safety ahead of the 2026 season.

Jenkins (wrist) returned to Sunday's game and finished with one tackle, a fumble recovery and an interception in Week 7's 31-6 win over the Dolphins.
Jenkins briefly was removed in the third quarter following a special-teams play but was back on the field five plays later. Earlier in the game, he recovered a fumble on special teams which led to a touchdown. Jenkins later set up the final score, picking off Tua Tagovailoa and setting up Cleveland's offense at the Miami 2-yard line. He has 17 tackles, one pass defensed, one interception and one fumble recovery over seven games.

Browns' Rayshawn Jenkins: Coming to Cleveland
Jenkins signed with the Browns on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
The Browns also agreed to terms with Damontae Kazee, making Jenkins the second veteran safety the team signed Monday. Jenkins spent his 2024 campaign with the Seahawks, appearing in 13 games and recording 53 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 525 defensive snaps. Now in Cleveland, the 31-year-old will likely have the opportunity to compete for a depth role in the team's secondary as the summer progresses.

Seattle released Jenkins on Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins: Smaller role following IR stint
Jenkins finished the 2024 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble return touchdown across 13 games.
Jenkins signed with the Seahawks in March of 2024 on a two-year, $12 million contract after spending the three previous seasons with the Jaguars. He started at safety alongside Julian Love and played every single defensive snap in the first six games of the regular season. Jenkins registered 38 tackles (26 solo) over that span, and his best play of the year came in Week 5 against the Giants, when he recovered fumble and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown. Jenkins was forced to go on injured reserve in mid-October after undergoing surgery on his hand, and when he returned in late November, he permanently lost his starting role at safety to Coby Bryant. Jenkins and Bryant are set to compete for the second starting safety spot alongside Love for the 2025 campaign when training camp begins in July.

Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins: Cleared to play Sunday, still on IR

Jenkins, however, remains on injured reserve, but he's expected to be activated by Saturday afternoon and will be eligible to play against Arizona. Jenkins was injured in Week 6 and missed the required four games while on IR. He played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the Seahawks' initial six contests.

Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins: Logs full practice Wednesday
Jenkins (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Jenkins has been sidelined for Seattle's last four games due to a hand injury he suffered against San Francisco in Week 6. The injury prompted the Seahawks to place Jenkins on injured reserve, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, and head coach Mike Macdonald relayed that Jenkins will likely be able to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Jenkins' return would likely mean that Coby Bryant would revert to a reserve role in the Seahawks' secondary.
