Overview

  • Jennings practiced on Sept. 1 for the first time since a July 27 calf injury, signaling possible availability for Sunday’s opener in Seattle.
  • General manager John Lynch confirmed the receiver requested a trade earlier in the offseason and said the team has moved on from that request.
  • San Francisco hosted free agent Kendrick Bourne, made a formal offer per NBC Sports Bay Area, and he left without a deal to visit the Commanders.
  • With Brandon Aiyuk sidelined at least the first month, the 49ers are leaning on Ricky Pearsall, Russell Gage and Skyy Moore, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling expected to be elevated from the practice squad.
  • Jennings is in the final year of a two-year, $15.4 million contract and seeking a longer-term extension, with reporting projecting him to work alongside Pearsall in the starting rotation.
