49ers WR Jauan Jennings Suffers Minor Shoulder Injury Amid Team Health Concerns

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings appears to have avoided a serious shoulder injury after undergoing an MRI and CT scan following his exit in the Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite initial concerns, NFL insider Ian Rapoport and other sources report that Jennings' injury is minor, with no definitive timeline yet but a good chance he will play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. The 49ers face significant injury challenges this season, with tight end George Kittle sidelined for multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury and quarterback Brock Purdy dealing with toe and shoulder injuries that may sideline him for Week 2. The team is also missing other key offensive players, including Brandon Aiyuk, Trent Taylor, Jordan Watkins, and Demarcus Robinson, making the health of Jennings and the availability of backups like Kendrick Bourne critical. The 49ers managed a narrow 17-13 win in Week 1 despite these setbacks, but their depth and offensive firepower remain heavily tested. Overall, the news about Jennings' shoulder is a rare positive for the injury-plagued team as they prepare for their upcoming game.
