The former England star was sacked by the BBC for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues.
But TNT has kept Jenas on its books – and he is expected to return after next month’s international break.
An official date is yet to be confirmed.
TNT declined to comment but is expected to make an announcement during the Premier League break next month.
It has been confirmed Jenas was not banished from commentary duty at Brighton’s Premier League win over Manchester United on August 24.
Despite conflicting reports, the TV personality was not actually scheduled to appear.
It is understood if evidence is found of any more cases of inappropriate behaviour by Jenas at the BBC, TNT would change their approach on keeping him on their roster.
Jenas is employed as a freelancer by TNT and also presents TNT’s E Sport programming.
He commentated on Liverpool’s opening-day Premier League win over Ipswich for TNT on August 19.
But he was absent on Match of the Day because of the BBC investigation.
