I agree Jenkins will get the call. He was a third down machine at the U if I remember correctly. Didn't have great speed but found a way to get open and with good enough speed. Another gutsy guy that isn't afraid to go over the middle and fights for yardage.

I'd give him a shot. Typical move by BB waiting to sign him to the active squad and waiting to IR Welker. Doesn't want to give away what the plans are.

My guess is whoever can contribute on special teams the best but Jenkins makes some sense...whoever it is most likely won't be active or part of the gameplans but then again I could be wrong

can someone familiar with cap and other nfl rules explain what benefit, if any, there is in delaying putting Wes on IR?

No benefit but until he is put on IR the Patriots cannot replace his roster spot. So instead of 53 players they have 52 and a gimp.

Jenkins was wearing a boot on his foot yesterday according to the Herald. I'd cross him off the list.

No, there isn't any. They don't even pay the replacement player; the NFL does. For all intents and purposes, the cap number freezes after the end of the regular season.
