Jauan Jennings Injury: Slated to suit up Sunday

Jennings, who is questionable to play against Tampa Bay on Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jennings missed last Thursday's overtime win over the Rams due to an ankle issue and began this week of practice as a non-participant before upgrading to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. The increased practice participation appears to be enough to allow Jennings to make his return to the field against the Buccaneers in Week 6, though official word on his status won't arrive until the 49ers unveil their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jennings does indeed suit up, he should work as the team's top pass-catching option due to Ricky Pearsall (knee) already being ruled out and with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) still on injured reserve. Jennings would be working with quarterback Mac Jones (oblique/knee), who is expected to start, with Brock Purdy (toe) set to miss another contest. Schefter notes that Pearsall and Purdy could return in Week 7, so San Francisco's injury-ravaged air attack seems to be slowly getting healthier.
