Jauan Jennings Misses 49ers vs. Cardinals Matchup Due to Injury
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will not participate in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals due to shoulder and ankle injuries.
Jennings missed all three practices last week but was officially questionable for the NFC West matchup to start the season.
Despite dealing with injuries last week, Jennings managed five receptions from 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Niners’ Week 2 victory over the Saints.
Ricky Pearsall will be San Francisco’s number one receiver on Sunday, with recent additions Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore rounding out the receiving corps.
San Francisco’s offense, already depleted by injuries, is now without star tight end George Kittle and star receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
The Niners will also play a second consecutive week with Mac Jones as their starting quarterback, as Brock Purdy is still out due to a toe injury. Purdy is also questionable.
Adrian Martinez will be Jones’ backup on Sunday, when the Niners (2-0) host the Cardinals (2-0) in their home opener.
