Two 49ers pass catchers working through injuries early in training camp

Following practice on Friday, Kyle Shanahan provided multiple injury updates, including the status of two pass catchers for the San Francisco 49ers offense.

After working on the side of the field during Friday’s practice, Shanahan mentioned wide receiver Jauan Jennings has an ankle injury. Despite his injury, Shanahan said Jennings should be expected back soon.

Following three seasons with the 49ers, Jennings signed a two-year, $15 million contract in San Francisco during the offseason. Jennings is coming off a season with 19 receptions for 265 yards and a touchdown, In three seasons, the Tennessee product has seven total touchdowns.

With Jennings dealing with an injury and Brandon Aiyuk holding out of practice, rookie Ricky Pearsall and Danny Gray could see an increase in reps.

Along with Jennings, new tight end Logan Thomas is also dealing with an injury. The veteran tight end and former quarterback has missed the last two practices due to a hamstring injury.

The 33-year-old pass catcher signed with the 49ers during the offseason after spending the last four seasons with the Washington Commanders.

With Thomas out, sophomores Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis have a chance to see more reps behind George Kittle. Veteran Eric Saubert could also see more reps at practice with Thomas out.
