49ers GM John Lynch said in a Friday morning radio spot that WR Jauan Jennings (hip) is doubtful to play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. Jennings didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday. We're still waiting to see if WR Deebo Samuel will be able to play against Dallas, but WR Ricky Pearsall figures to see the field plenty in that one with Jennings and WR Brandon Aiyuk out.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's seemingly making quick progress in his recovery from pneumonia and has a real chance to play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. We'll update Samuel's status again tomorrow. WR Jauan Jennings (hip) remained sidelined on Thursday and isn't looking like a good bet to play against Dallas.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness, wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. He did do some individual conditioning drills, though, according to Bay Area News Group's Cam Inman. HC Kyle Shanahan said that Samuel is "doing better than you'd expect" and "has a chance" to play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. WR Jauan Jennings (hip) also missed Wednesday's practice and remains iffy for the Dallas game. We'll update both guys again on Thursday.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There may be other damage," Rapoport adds. Aiyuk will miss the rest of the 2024 season. And any "other damage" to his knee could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll keep you updated on Aiyuk's diagnosis and timeline for return.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that WR Ricky Pearsall will make his debut this weekend, but we can't imagine he'll play a big role after missing most of training camp and then getting shot in late August. Jennings' absence is a slight boost to WR Deebo Samuel, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Jennings' absence would mean slight target projection boosts for WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. We'll update Jennings' status again tomorrow.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel returned from a calf injury to record 3 catches for 58 yards against New England. He added two carries and didn’t have his routes or snaps limited.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. It's a slight surprise after HC Kyle Shanahan said previously that Samuel was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Samuel got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, though, and will evidently suit up today. There's always some risk of an in-game aggravation of soft-tissue injuries, but unless we get a report of Samuel being limited today, he belongs in most fantasy lineups. His return -- along with TE George Kittle's -- makes Week 3 breakout Jauan Jennings tough to trust in fantasy lineups this week.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should put him on track to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, but we'll see how Kittle progresses over the next few days. Kittle's return would dent WR Jauan Jennings' upside, although he'll still be in play as a WR3 as long as Deebo Samuel remains out.
We knew 49ers WR Jauan Jennings would step into a larger role in Week 3. The 49ers entered the game without Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. But Jennings turned in an unbelivable showing with 11 catches, 175 yards, and 3 TDs.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams, as expected. HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Samuel is expected to miss a couple of games. His absence leaves WR Jauan Jennings as San Francisco's No. 2 WR. He's in play as a WR4 for fantasy owners in a bind this week.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. Kittle showed up on Thursday with a sore hamstring and missed the final two practices of the week. The Niners will be down Kittle, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday. They’ll need to lean on RB Jordan Mason and WR Brandon Aiyuk. WR Jauan Jennings should also see a boosted role. TE Eric Saubert looks like the Kittle replacement but would be a desperation fantasy play. The 30-year-old owns 38 career catches.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel will miss "a couple of weeks" with a calf injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, HC Kyle Shanahan said.
The 49ers announced that WR Ricky Pearsall has been released from the hospital on Sunday, a day after being shot in the chest in an attempted robbery. Pearsall's mother posted on social media that the bullet did not hit any of his vital organs before exiting out his back.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel will have further testing on his injured left shoulder on Sunday, ESPN reports. The team is reportedly hoping that Samuel didn't suffer the same hairline fracture injury that he did in a Week 6 loss to the Browns. That cost him the next two games. Samuel was able to return following San Francisco's Week 9 bye. "I don't know yet," HC Kyle Shanahan said after the win over the Packers. "I mean he tried to come back [but] couldn't do it. I know he did something similar versus Cleveland." We should get an update on Samuel within the next 24 hours. WR Jauan Jennings stepped up for five catches and 61 yards vs. Green Bay and would be in for an expanded role if Samuel misses the NFC Championship.
