The San Francisco 49ers have been without wide receiver Jauan Jennings for the first two practices this week as he’s battling a hip injury.
In 2023, Jennings was one of the most productive receivers in the NFL against man coverage. He averaged 14.5 yards per reception, with nine of his 11 receptions resulting in first downs. Brock Purdy had a 146.9 passer rating when targeting Jennings against man coverage — the third-highest mark in the NFL.
Per PFF, Jennings has caught six passes on 11 targets for five first downs this season. As a team, the Niners aren’t seeing as much man coverage.
