Overview

  • General manager John Lynch confirmed Jauan Jennings requested a trade earlier in the offseason but said the team has moved on and will not deal him.
  • Jennings has missed most of camp with a calf injury, and Lynch described his availability for the Sept. 7 opener in Seattle as hopeful but uncertain.
  • San Francisco signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling and plans to bring Russell Gage back to the 53-man roster to bolster an injury-thinned receiver group.
  • The receiver room remains depleted with Brandon Aiyuk expected to miss at least the first month after knee surgery, Jacob Cowing placed on injured reserve, Jordan Watkins sidelined by an ankle injury, and Demarcus Robinson suspended three games.
  • Jennings is entering the final season of the two-year, $15.4 million contract he signed in 2024, and Lynch said contract talks have occurred as he reiterated that both the injury and the pursuit of a new deal are real.
