49ers’ WR Options Tighten as Shanahan Targets Jennings for Week 1, Cowing Out About Six Weeks

The updates reshape short-term roster planning at receiver, pushing San Francisco toward IR decisions plus quick depth fixes.

Overview

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jacob Cowing re-injured the same hamstring and is expected to miss about six weeks, making injured reserve a possibility.
  • Shanahan said he expects Jauan Jennings to be available for the Week 1 game at Seattle, noting that calf recoveries can be unpredictable.
  • Brandon Aiyuk remains on the PUP list from last season’s ACL/MCL tear, rookie Jordan Watkins has a high-ankle sprain, and Demarcus Robinson is expected to serve a three-game suspension.
  • San Francisco traded for Skyy Moore to bolster depth, and Shanahan praised how quickly the newcomer began picking up the offense after arriving.
  • Separately, rookie cornerback Jakob Robinson sustained a broken forearm late in the preseason finale, per Shanahan.
