2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jensen accomplished the unlikely feat of starting a playoff game mere months after tearing three knee ligaments and recovering from the injuries without surgery, but he's still not back to full health seven months after the wild-card loss to the Cowboys. The Pro Bowl center hadn't participated in full team drills at training camp as of mid-August, and his status for the start of the regular season remains very much in the air. Read Past Outlooks

February 2, 2024
Jensen (knee) announced his retirement from the NFL via his personal Instagram account Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old center was forced to miss the 2022 and 2023 NFL seasons with tears in his ACL, MCL and PCL, but over the course of his nine-year career, Jensen appeared in 100 games and made 90 starts. He spent the first four years of his career in Baltimore after he was selected in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. After making 25 starts in four years with the Ravens, Jensen signed a four-year, $42 million contract with the Buccaneers before the 2018 season, winning a Super Bowl to cap off the 2020 NFL season and nabbing Pro Bowl honors in 2021.
