Teams Call on Jauan Jennings, but 49ers Indicate He’s Staying as Trade Deadline Nears

San Francisco downplays a deal, citing Jennings’ injuries plus Brandon Aiyuk’s return timeline.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports multiple teams have renewed interest in Jennings and are expected to keep calling through Tuesday’s deadline.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be very surprised if Jennings were not on the roster for the rest of the season.
  • Jennings has 18 receptions for 212 yards and one touchdown in six games while managing shoulder, ankle and rib issues.
  • Rapoport characterizes a trade as possible yet unlikely, noting wide receiver depth considerations as Aiyuk continues his return from last year’s knee injury.
  • The 49ers added defensive end Keion White this week ahead of the deadline, and Jennings has publicly expressed that he loves playing with the team.
