"Jauan Jennings was in uniform and took the field for the 49ers' practice Monday morning, six days before their season opener. Jennings had missed more than a month of practices in training camp and the preseason with a calf injury weeks after requesting a raise or a trade. Jennings reported on time and took the field for the 49ers' initial training camp practices"
"He hasn't spoken to reporters during that time, and unlike teammate Brandon Aiyuk, who is rehabbing a torn ACL, has not been on the field with teammates, although he's been attending meetings. In the second year of a two-year, $15.39 million contract extension, Jennings reportedly asked for a trade before camp began. However, Shanahan said no request was made to him in his conversations with Jennings."
"With missed practices piling up, the 49ers altered their media strategy regarding Jennings when general manager John Lynch said last week that both things can be true, you know, he wants a new contract and he's got a hurt calf, so I think people want to assume one or the other. Lynch also confirmed last Wednesday that Jennings had indeed asked for a trade, but declined to specify when the request was made and added he asked for it and we've moved on."
Jauan Jennings returned to practice six days before the season opener after missing more than a month because of a calf injury. He attended meetings while sidelined and has not spoken with reporters. Jennings is in the second year of a two-year, $15.39 million extension and reportedly requested a trade before camp; general manager John Lynch confirmed a trade request while coach Kyle Shanahan said none was made in his conversations. The 49ers acknowledged both injury and contract desire can be true. Previously, Jennings tallied career highs of 77 catches, 975 yards and six touchdowns. Colton McKivitz has practiced daily despite also being in the final year of his contract.
