49ers' Jauan Jennings: Expected back after bye
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jauan Jennings (hip) is expected to return following San Francisco's Week 9 bye, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Jennings missed Weeks 7 and 8 with the hip issue, and the team could really use him with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the season, Chris Conley (hamstring) week-to-week and Deebo Samuel coming off pneumonia and now dealing with oblique and rib strains. Once he's back, Jennings is expected to take on a full-time role for the remainder of the season.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Missing second straight game
Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Jennings will be sidelined for a second game in a row after he continued to miss practice time this week while tending to a hip injury. With a bye on tap Week 9 to provide him with additional healing time, Jennings should have a good chance at being ready to go when the San Francisco 49ers return to action Sunday, Nov. 10 at Tampa Bay, provided he doesn't experience any setbacks with the hip when he eventually returns to practice. Once he's healthy, Jennings should be in store for a regular starting role for the rest of the campaign after the 49ers placed Brandon Aiyuk on injured reserve this week with season-ending ACL and MCL tears.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Still not practicing
Jauan Jennings (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Jennings has yet to log any on-field work since he showed up on the San Francisco 49ers' injury report last Wednesday with a hip issue. Meanwhile, the top of the 49ers' receiving corps is compromised, with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season and Deebo Samuel (wrist) in recovery mode from pneumonia. Samuel was able to log a limited practice Thursday, so he seemingly has a better chance than Jennings to be available Sunday against the Cowboys.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Not practicing Wednesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jauan Jennings (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.The state of the San Francisco 49ers' receiving corps is such that Jennings will be welcomed back with open arms once he gets past the hip injury that sidelined him Week 7. After this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic that he hoped Jennings would be back this week, but his lack of activity Wednesday isn't a great sign. Fortunately for Jennings, he'll have sessions Thursday and Friday to put himself on a path to suiting up Sunday against the Cowboys. If he's available, he could serve as San Francisco's top wideout, considering Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out of the season and Deebo Samuel is recovering from a bout with pneumonia.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Chance to play Week 8
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs that the San Francisco 49ers hope to get Jauan Jennings (hip) back for Week 8 against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.Jennings didn't practice in any capacity prior to sitting out Sunday's loss, but the team's optimism regarding his Week 8 status suggests Jennings isn't looking at an extended absence. That may not be the case for fellow 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who is feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear against Kansas City. Jennings has proven capable of stepping up when the 49ers are shorthanded at wide receiver, as he had 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Week 3.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Ruled out for Week 7
Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Jennings didn't practice at all this week, leaving the San Francisco 49ers with Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and rookies Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall (chest) as the WR choices behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (wrist). While Pearsall's status as a first-round pick makes him the one with the most long-term fantasy interest, he may not have much of a role after spending the first six weeks of the season on the reserve/non-football injury list due to injuries sustained in a shooting. Conley is the favorite to get the most snaps, although it's far from a sure thing. Jennings' next chance to play is a Week 8 game against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 27.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Misses another practice
Jauan Jennings (hip) isn't practicing Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall (chest) has a shot to make his NFL regular-season debut, but the San Francisco 49ers probably will favor veteran Chris Conley in the No. 3 receiver role if Jennings doesn't play this Sunday against the Chiefs. A third straight missed practice has Jennings trending toward his first absence of the season.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Missing practice with hip injury
Jauan Jennings won't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.The hip issue is a new concern for San Francisco's No. 3 receiver, who is coming off a 3-27-0 receiving line (five targets) in last Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle. Jennings has just seven catches for 128 yards in three games since erupting for a 11-175-3 receiving line Week 3 against the Rams, as he's been operating as the fourth option in San Francisco's passing game ever since Deebo Samuel and George Kittle returned from their respective injuries.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 27 yards on TNF
Jauan Jennings had three receptions (five targets) for 27 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.Jennings saw the field for nearly half (49 percent) of San Francisco's offensive plays Thursday, a number which has mirrored his snap count this season aside from his standout performance against the Rams back in Week 3. Since that three-score game, the veteran slot man has produced just seven catches for 128 yards with no trips to the end zone over his last three contests. Jennings remains an option for those in deeper formats when the San Francisco 49ers host the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20.
