Rest-of-Season Projections
Jennings is inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins.
ANALYSIS
Jennings wasn't listed on the Bucs' injury report this week, so it seems likely that coach Lovie Smith is simply dumping the veteran from his nickelback role. In five games this season, Jennings has collected 17 tackles and knocked down one pass, but hasn't provided the solid coverage on the outside that he displayed during back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons with the Bears. Mike Jenkins is in line to replace Jennings as the Bucs' third corner.

Jennings entered training camp in preparation for the second season of a four-year, $22.4 million contract extension he signed with the Bears in January 2014, but the deal was quickly written off by the new regime as a massive misfire. After logging 13 interceptions the previous two seasons, Jennings failed to pick off a single pass in 2014, while his total of 51 tackles was his lowest since 2007. With Jennings' production on the decline and his small frame representing an ill fit for new coordinator Vic Fangio's 3-4 press-coverage scheme, the Bears elected to release the cornerback in August. Jennings' considerable NFL experience should allow him to find work quickly with another club, but his days as a starter in the league could very well be over.
