"With the 49ers facing a 20-16 deficit, Demarcus Robinson dropped a pass in front of Shanahan. Then, as Robinson came up with an atoning 31-yard catch, Shanahan went down the sideline to confront Jennings. The two went back and forth for an instant before the sideline staff intervened, including a member of the club's security detail. In the end, Jennings was targeted only three times in a game where Mac Jones passed 39 times, completing 27 for 347 yards."
"He had more penalties (two) than receptions (one). To start the second half, Jennings immediately committed a false start. Shanahan brushed off the sideline spat. Just an intense, competitive conversation between two people at the end of the second quarter, but we're good, Shanahan said at the postgame podium. Jennings said even less. Oh, man, you'll have to ask him, Jennings told reporters after the game. A second query brought the same response."
Jauan Jennings is playing through rib, ankle and shoulder injuries and has missed significant practice time, yet he suited up for the 30-19 loss at Tampa Bay. He struggled to produce, finishing with one reception on three targets, two penalties and an early second-half false start. A sideline confrontation with coach Kyle Shanahan late in the first half highlighted visible frustration. Shanahan characterized the exchange as an intense, competitive conversation and downplayed it after the game. Jennings had a career year last season with 77 receptions for 975 yards and six touchdowns, earned a late contract adjustment, and missed much of training camp due to a calf issue.
