- On Sunday, Jauan Jennings, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, played through five broken ribs and ankle sprains in a 30-19 loss at Raymond James Stadium.
- After a breakout season with 77 receptions for 975 yards and six touchdowns, Jauan Jennings faces injury struggles from a Week 4 home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and has missed three of six games.
- In Tampa, Jennings managed only three targets and one catch for seven yards, drew two penalties including a false start, and clashed with head coach Kyle Shanahan before halftime, prompting Leonard Hankerson and Mike Anderson to intervene.
- After Sunday's loss the team lost Fred Warner, All-Pro linebacker, to a likely season-ending ankle injury and was already missing Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Ricky Pearsall.
- Questions remain about whether Jauan Jennings' availability and role can be salvaged after missing three of six games with 10 catches on 22 targets for 136 yards and one touchdown.
