• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Cleared for Week 2

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Jennings was listed with an ankle injury ahead of Week 1 and even made a brief exit from Monday's win over the Jets, but it didn't stop him from catching each of his five targets for a team-high 64 receiving yards. He played 47 percent of San Francisco's snaps on offense and ran a route on 56 percent of the pass plays, filling his usual role as the No. 3 receiver behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. It is possible Jennings benefits from a few extra snaps here and there if Samuel continues to get some work as a running back while Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is out.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Limited Wednesday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Jennings (ankle) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Jennings made a brief exit during Monday's win against the Jets, but he ultimately played 35 of 72 offensive snaps en route to five catches (on five targets) for 64 yards. The elevated target count may have been due to fellow wideout Deebo Samuel getting more work in the backfield with Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) sidelined. In any case, Jennings will join McCaffrey with a cap on his reps to kick off Week 2 prep, meaning the situation bears watching to see if the former will remain more involved Sunday in Minnesota, assuming he's active and the latter isn't.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Day-to-day with ankle injury

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan labeled Jennings (ankle) as day-to-day after Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Jennings played 35 of the 49ers' 72 offensive snaps in the victory, recording five receptions for 64 yards on five targets. Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings was slow to get up after making a third-down reception early in the third quarter, and he was in the blue medical tent for the 49ers' ensuing possession before later checking back into the contest. Though Jennings was able to finish out the game, the receiver still looks to be less than 100 percent, so his practice activity could be limited leading up to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Injures ankle Monday night

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Jennings suffered an ankle injury in Monday night's Week 1 game against the Jets and is questionable to return, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Jennings was injured while being tackled on the 49ers' first drive of the third quarter, when a defender landed on the back of the wideout's leg. Prior to leaving and heading the blue medical tent, Jennings caught all three of his targets for a team-best 41 yards at the time of his exit.

• 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Inks two-year deal

  05/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jennings and the 49ers agreed Wednesday on a two-year deal worth up to $15.4 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Niners gave Jennings a second-round restricted free agent tender in March. Given that it was unlikely any team would give up a pick that early for the right to pay Jennings a considerable contract, a trade was the only other viable option. Both parties were able to avoid that situation with this new deal, which is akin to a one-year extension that keeps him with San Francisco through the 2025 season. Jennings will be back to fill the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk during the upcoming campaign.
