According to 49ers insider Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports, WR Jauan Jennings missed a third consecutive day of practice on Thursday. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Jennings aggravated an offseason calf strain and there is no clear timetable for his return.
Maiocco: “WR Jauan Jennings missed his third consecutive practice on Thursday due to a calf strain. It’s an aggravation of the same thing that bothered him in the offseason, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.”
Death, taxes, and injuries to 49ers skill position players.
Jennings, who is also seeking a new contract, hasn’t practiced all week. The regular season is still over a month out, but it’s concerning that he has now aggravated the calf strain he suffered back in June.
With WR Brandon Aiyuk still working his way back from his own injury, second-year WR Ricky Pearsall should see all the targets he can handle from QB Brock Purdy until Jennings is ready to roll.
Pearsall showed flashes to end his rookie season, averaging 9.0 targets, 7.0 receptions, 105 receiving yards, and 23.8 PPR points per game during the final two weeks.
