"For the first time in 36 days, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings participated in practice Monday. The Niners held their "bonus" practice Monday morning as they begin preparations for Sunday's regular season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. And when they did, they were about as healthy as they've been all offseason as five players -- Jennings, guard Dominick Puni (knee), defensive tackle Kalia Davis, receiver Russell Gage Jr. (knee) and defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) -- were all back to practice."
"In addition to the calf injury, Jennings has been seeking a lucrative long-term contract extension. Niners general manager John Lynch said last week that Jennings did request a trade "a while ago" but made it clear the team had no desire to deal Jennings and was expecting him back on the field once his calf injury healed. "He asked for it and we've moved on," Lynch said last Wednesday. "We're not doing that. So, we're moving forward.""
For the first time in 36 days, Jauan Jennings participated in 49ers practice during the team's bonus session preparing for the season opener against the Seahawks. Five players returned to practice: Jennings, guard Dominick Puni (knee), defensive tackle Kalia Davis, receiver Russell Gage Jr. (knee) and defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos (knee). Jennings left training camp on July 27 with a calf injury and missed padded practices. Jennings has been pursuing a long-term contract extension and reportedly requested a trade earlier; the team signaled no desire to trade him and expects him back once healthy. Jennings led receiver drills with Ricky Pearsall.
