Will the San Francisco 49ers be without the services of a receiver for their Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings?
San Francisco started the 2024 season on a high note on Monday night as it took down the new-look New York Jets. The 49ers looked like a real contender in the matchup despite missing running back Christian McCaffrey.
The 49ers are in a good spot right now, but the game did lead to some question marks. Receiver Jauan Jennings appeared to suffer an ankle injury, but it does seem like everything is going to be okay.
Jennings was called "day-to-day" on Tuesday, according to Pro Football Talk's Josh Alper.
"Running back Christian McCaffrey’s injury situation has drawn the most attention, but he’s not the only 49ers dealing with issues on that front this week," Alper said. "Wide receiver Jauan Jennings left Monday night’s win over the Jets to have his ankle looked at after getting hurt on a tackle by Jets cornerback Michael Carter.
"It looked like the kind of hip-drop tackle that the NFL outlawed this offseason, although Carter was not penalized. On Tuesday, 49ers head coach called Jennings and guard Aaron Banks, who suffered a calf injury, day-to-day as the team turns toward their Week Two game against the Vikings."
Jennings is an important piece for San Francisco's offense and luckily it sounds like he won't miss much time if any.
