Kyle Shanahan Downplays Sideline Clash With Jauan Jennings After Buccaneers Loss

Shanahan attributes the flare-up to competitive emotion heightened by injury.

Overview

  • The exchange occurred in the first half of San Francisco’s 30-19 defeat in Tampa, with reports describing two separate interactions.
  • Wide receivers coach Leonard Hankerson stepped in during one of the moments and pushed Jennings away from Shanahan.
  • The incident unfolded as Shanahan was calling plays in the final two minutes before halftime, according to reporting.
  • Jennings said after the game he was playing through five broken ribs plus high and low ankle sprains.
  • Shanahan told reporters the back-and-forth was not a big deal and voiced support for Jennings, as the injury-hit 49ers also lost Fred Warner to a season-ending ankle injury with Nick Bosa and Brock Purdy already out.
