Overview

  • Jennings practiced Monday for the first time since leaving July 27 with a calf injury, taking part in individual drills six days before the opener at Seattle.
  • General manager John Lynch confirmed the receiver previously requested a trade and reiterated the team will not deal him, while also noting the absence involved both injury and contract factors.
  • Jennings has not reached a new deal and is entering the final year of the contract he signed in 2024 after posting career-best numbers last season.
  • San Francisco pursued outside help at wideout, extending a formal offer to free agent Kendrick Bourne before he left to visit the Commanders, and added Marquez Valdes‑Scantling to the practice squad with plans reported to activate him for Week 1.
  • With Brandon Aiyuk rehabbing a knee injury and depth tested, other returns to practice included Russell Gage, Dominick Puni, Kalia Davis and Yetur Gross‑Matos as the 49ers prepare their first injury report of the season.
