49ers GM Lynch Updates On WR Jauan Jennings Calf Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings remains sidelined due to a lingering calf injury sustained during offseason work, with no clear timetable for his return as of late July. General Manager John Lynch emphasized Jennings’ importance to the team both on and off the field, noting that the injury has kept him from practicing since July 27, but the team is eager to have him back once fully healthy. Jennings is also navigating a contract situation, entering the final year of his two-year deal and reportedly seeking an extension or potentially considering a trade if an agreement is not reached, although the injury may complicate negotiations. The 49ers’ receiving corps is dealing with multiple injuries, including Brandon Aiyuk recovering from torn ACL and MCL, Jacob Cowing with a hamstring injury, and Ricky Pearsall recently returning from a hamstring issue, raising concerns about the unit’s readiness for the upcoming season. Despite these challenges, Lynch and the team remain hopeful about Jennings’ recovery and his role as a key contributor to the offense. The 49ers aim to move forward before the regular season begins, relying on Jennings as a pivotal player while managing the broader injury concerns across the roster.
