San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings played through five broken ribs, among other health concerns, during the 49ers' loss to Tampa Bay in Week 6, a contest in which he handled 77 percent of offensive snaps but secured just one of three targets for seven yards. While Jennings may again manage to play through his injuries at home against the Falcons on Sunday, he's combined for just three grabs for 31 yards (on seven targets) in his last two appearances. Meanwhile, Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Skyy Moore (undisclosed) are not practicing Wednesday.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Playing through broken ribs
Rotowire
Jennings said after Sunday's loss to the Bucs that he played with five broken ribs against Tampa Bay, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Jennings missed Week 5 against the Rams with the injury but returned to the lineup Sunday against Tampa Bay. However, he was almost nonexistent in the box score, finishing with just one catch for seven yards as an afterthought in the passing game. Jennings didn't look anywhere near 100 percent health. Kendrick Bourne turned in another stellar performance, securing five of nine targets for 142 yards as Mac Jones' preferred go-to option. Jennings will be hard to trust in fantasy lineups next Sunday against Atlanta.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Slated to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Jennings, who is questionable to play against Tampa Bay on Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jennings missed last Thursday's overtime win over the Rams due to an ankle issue and began this week of practice as a non-participant before upgrading to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. The increased practice participation appears to be enough to allow Jennings to make his return to the field against the Buccaneers in Week 6, though official word on his status won't arrive until the 49ers unveil their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jennings does indeed suit up, he should work as the team's top pass-catching option due to Ricky Pearsall (knee) already being ruled out and with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) still on injured reserve. Jennings would be working with quarterback Mac Jones (oblique/knee), who is expected to start, with Brock Purdy (toe) set to miss another contest. Schefter notes that Pearsall and Purdy could return in Week 7, so San Francisco's injury-ravaged air attack seems to be slowly getting healthier.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
After missing Week 5, Jennings returned to practice Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, giving him a chance to suit up Week 6. Teammates Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) have been ruled out, while QB Mac Jones (oblique/knee) joins Jennings with a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are the likely beneficiaries if Jennings doesn't end up playing or is limited.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Back at practice
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/rib) returned to practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
This marks Jennings' first on-field work since Week 4 prep as he tends to lingering ankle and rib injuries. GM John Lynch said earlier Thursday that Jennings may be limited at the 49ers' upcoming session and also return for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. The team's second Week 6 practice report will reveal Jennings' activity level Thursday, but he likely will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation entering the weekend.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: No activity at Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Jennings (ankle/ribs) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Jennings previously sat out the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals due to an ankle issue, and that injury plus a new rib concern is clouding his availability for Thursday's game against the Rams. After being gauged as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jennings will be a spectator Tuesday in the 49ers' lone on-field session this week. The 49ers will decide Wednesday whether Jennings takes a designation into the Week 5 contest, or if he'll be ruled out in advance of the game. The San Francisco pass-catching corps could once again be shorthanded with Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jordan Watkins (calf) all sitting out Tuesday's practice, while tight end George Kittle (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) aren't on track to return from IR until at least Week 6.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: DNP on estimated injury report
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings continues to deal with the ankle issue that kept him out in Week 3, but he's also tending to a rib injury stemming from a big hit he took in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He finished the contest with a 73 percent snap share and two catches on four targets for 24 yards. Coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic earlier Monday that the statuses of Jennings and fellow WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) are up in the air, so the 49ers' receiving corps could be in rough shape for Thursday's game at the Rams.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Uncertain for Thursday night
Rotowire
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (undisclosed) is up in the air for Thursday's matchup against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Jennings had sat out Week 3 due to ankle and shoulder injuries before retaking the field during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in which he secured two of four targets for 24 yards and at one point had to be evaluated on the sidelines after suffering a hit to the ribs. Monday's official practice report will reveal the injuries Jennings is currently dealing with, as well as his activity level, and his status will need to be closely monitored with a short week of preparation on deck before a road Thursday Night Football matchup. Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) also are being evaluated.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Questionable for Week 4
Rotowire
Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings was listed as a non-participant on five straight injury reports due to shoulder and ankle injuries before getting back on the field Friday, giving him a chance to return to action this weekend. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's able to suit up, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe), who has been cleared for his first game action since Week 1.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Remains sidelined from practice
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/shoulder) isn't practicing Thursday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Jennings hasn't been able to practice since coming out of a Week 2 win at New Orleans with an ankle injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan has referred to Jennings as day-to-day each of the last two weeks, but the wide receiver may not be a viable candidate for game action until he mixes into at least some drills. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Jennings has a chance to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings remains day-to-day and that he was close to being cleared to play Week 3 against the Cardinals, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. That said, it seems likely that Jennings will need to practice in at least a limited fashion Thursday and/or Friday to have a realistic shot at returning to the field Sunday versus the Jaguars. Jennings picked up a shoulder injury during San Francisco's regular-season opener but managed to play through it Week 2 before then picking up an ankle injury in the second game.

Rotowire
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is considered "day-to-day," Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings was able to play Week 2 with a shoulder injury that he suffered in the season opener, but he emerged from the second contest with an ankle issue that didn't allow him to practice last week. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but eventually was ruled out. Wednesday's session will mark Jennings' next chance to get his first on-field work since Week 1.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Not spotted at practice
Rotowire
Jennings (ankle/calf) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
He could technically still get some work in once practice is closed off to reporters, but things aren't looking good for Jennings in Week 3, considering he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. If another absence is confirmed, it would likely leave him either ruled out or treated as a long shot to face the Cardinals this weekend.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Jennings (shoulder/ankle) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings exited a season-opening win at Seattle due to a left shoulder injury that capped him to one limited session during Week 2 prep. He was able to suit up this past Sunday in New Orleans and take on an 87 percent snap share on his way to five catches (on 10 targets) for 89 yards and one touchdown while working with fill-in starting quarterback Mac Jones. Jennings will be joined as a limited participant Wednesday by No. 1 signal-caller Brock Purdy (toe/left shoulder), who has a chance to return to action this Sunday versus the Cardinals, as coach Kyle Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com on Wednesday. As a result, the potential exists for Jennings to have his most familiar quarterback under center Week 3, assuming the wide receiver is able to play through his shoulder and ankle issues.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Hauls in deep TD against Saints
Rotowire
Jennings caught five of 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over New Orleans.
The veteran wideout had a little trouble getting on the same page with new quarterback Mac Jones early in the contest, but the duo connected on a 42-yard TD in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-winning score. Jennings' final line, and the performance of the 49ers' offense in general without Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) under center, was very encouraging, and he'll look to keep rolling in a Week 3 clash with the Cardinals.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Trending toward playing
Rotowire
Jennings (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday in New Orleans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported Saturday that while Jennings was viewed as a game-time decision for Week 2, the 49ers had optimism that he would be able to play. Jennings' prospects for suiting up Sunday having seemingly only improved overnight, though the 49ers will likely wait and see how he fares during a pregame workout before clearing him to play in advance of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Jennings ultimately gets the green light to play, he'll be working with a new starting quarterback in Mac Jones, who appears poised to direct the offense for multiple games due to Brock Purdy (toe) facing a projected 2-to-5-week recovery timeline.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Questionable for Week 2
Rotowire
Jennings (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Jennings didn't finish the Week 1 win over Seattle or practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he returned Friday in a limited capacity, giving himself at least some chance to play ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With QB Brock Purdy (toe) and TE George Kittle (hamstring) both ruled out, Jennings will project for a large target share if he plays, but without many of the surrounding conditions that have made San Francisco players so valuable for fantasy football in recent years. Standout left tackle Trent Williams (knee) also is listed as questionable.

Jennings (shoulder) officially didn't practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings hasn't been able to take part in drills this week following his early departure from this past Sunday's victory in Seattle due to a shoulder injury. However, he was spotted working on the side with a 49ers trainer Thursday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, indicating he at least is keeping somewhat active. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal whether Jennings has a chance to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. If he's able to play this weekend, he'll be working with backup QB Mac Jones with Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) set to miss multiple weeks.

49ers' Jauan Jennings: Week 1 appearance on tap
Rotowire
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Jennings (calf) is "good to go" for Sunday's contest at Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. "He's had a real good week," Shanahan added. "[He's] gotten better and better throughout the week, and I'm excited to see him out there Sunday."
Jennings logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the calf injury that's impacted him at times since the offseason program, but he also gained some clarity with his contract this week when he and the 49ers agreed to $3 million in play-time incentives for the 2025 season. He'll open the campaign with Ricky Pearsall as the top wide receivers for QB Brock Purdy in the absence of Brandon Aiyuk, who is on the reserve/PUP list as he completes his recovery from the ACL and MCL tears that he suffered Week 7 of last year. Jennings put together a career-best 77-975-6 line on 113 targets in 15 regular-season games in 2024.
