49ers rule out Jauan Jennings against Cowboys

Out again.

The San Francisco 49ers have ruled out wide receiver Jauan Jennings against the Dallas Cowboys. Jennings is recovering from a hip injury he suffered against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6. This is the second consecutive game Jennings has missed with this injury.

It’s starting to become a concern, especially with how thin the wide receiver group is. The 49ers lost Brandon Aiyuk for the season after he tore his ACL and MCL against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan assured that Jennings will not need to be placed on Injured Reserve.

That means Jennings’ injury isn’t as serious for the 49ers and he could return after the bye week in Week 10. That’s most likely why the 49ers aren’t considering injured reserve. They have Bye Week to allow you a week of rest and recovery. Therefore, ideally, Jennings will only miss two games.

It’s a smart move by the 49ers to allow Jennings to recover. They can’t afford to lose another receiver this season. He will be a pivotal player on offense going forward with Aiyuk out for the year. Speaking of receivers, Deebo Samuel is questionable against the Cowboys.

Samuel was dealing with pneumonia earlier in the week and was even hospitalized for it. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday, but was active on Thursday and Friday. Somehow he has made a surprising recovery and will be ready to face the Cowboys on Sunday night.

The same goes for George Kittle. He missed practice Wednesday due to a sprained foot. The injury occurred against the Chiefs last week. Shanahan was hopeful earlier in the week that Kittle would be active, and sure enough, he is.

Here are the rest of the players the 49ers have ruled out: Kevin Givens (groin) and Jake Moody (ankle).

Here’s the rest of the player the 49ers have deemed questionable: Deommodore Lenoir (illness) and George Odum (knee).
