49ers receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) remains out of practice
He could be holding in.
Jennings suffered a calf injury during training camp on July 27. (It apparently was an aggravation of an offseason injury.) He has yet to practice since then.
On Monday, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about Jennings's ongoing absence.
'Same thing with his calf," Shanahan said.
Shanahan then was asked if it's "definitely health-related, not business-related"?
'You can ask him that, but he tells me it's his calf and the calf shows," Shanahan said. "So, got to be delicate with those calves.'
It could be a combination of health and business. If Jennings was happy with his contract, maybe he'd push through it. Because he isn't happy with his contract, he isn't.
Jennings is in the second year of a two-year, $11.89 million contract. The contract was surprisingly light, given that he had a Super Bowl LVIII performance that had him on the short list of potential MVP candidates, before the 49ers lost to the Chiefs.
Last year, Jennings had a career-high 77 catches for 975 yards and six touchdowns. With Deebo Samuel gone and Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the 2024 season, Jennings seems to merit an increase.
He may not be doing much until he gets one.

According to Cadena Ser and Marca, Alexander Sorloth was unable to complete this morning's training session under Cholo Simeone's orders due to a physical setback.

Steelers vs Jaguars: 4 storylines in this week's preseason game
After what has been one of the wildest offseasons ever for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it is almost time to finally kick off the preseason schedule. This Saturday, the Steelers will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, and here are the storylines to keep an eye on. Is the defense really this good? At the midway point of training camp, the defense has dominated the offense at practice. We expected that unit to have an edge but it's been really one-sided. This week, we will get to see the defense in live action against a Jaguars offense full of talent so we will get a better idea of just how good this group can be. Is the offense really this bad? On the flipside of the first storyline, how rough is the offense going to look? This group has been outclassed throughout training camp and it looks like all these new players in new places are struggling to gel. How much Aaron Rodgers? Head coach Mike Tomlin rarely has his starting quarterback play much in the first preseason game but it feels like Aaron Rodgers in an exception this year given how late he joined the team. Lots of rookies to watch The Steelers rookies should be on full display on Saturday night. Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon and running back Kaleb Johnson won't see heavy work since their spots are locked in but we want to see edge defense Jack Sawyer, defensive tackle Yahya Black and quarterback Will Howard ball out. This is in addition to undrafted rookies Roc Taylor and Sebastian Castro. This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Steelers vs Jaguars: 4 storylines in this week's preseason game

Sports analyst rips Bronny James for no-showing Luka Dončić's Lakers press conference
Sports analyst rips Bronny James for no-showing Luka Dončić's Lakers press conference originally appeared on The Sporting News Luka Dončić wasted no time in extending his deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. The two sides agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension on Aug. 2, the first day he was eligible to sign a new deal. While most of his teammates were present for his press conference and a trip to Las Vegas to attend a Backstreet Boys later in the day, LeBron James and Bronny James were among those noticeably absent. Dan Patrick believes that the four-time MVP deserves a pass for not showing up, however, he took aim at the second-year guard's decision to not join his teammates. "The one person who I thought should've been there was his son," Dan Patrick stated Monday. "Bronny James, if he wants to stay longer after LeBron leaves, that's your teammate. That's what was surprising. Bronny James should've been there. You're the last guy on the roster, you should be there. Show support." Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp "It just felt like, 'Hey, my dad's LeBron, we got a vacation'," Patrick continued. "I mean, that's where you say, 'Dad, that's my team, that's my teammate'. And if LeBron doesn't want to be there -- it just feels like there's a game going on." Despite speculation that James could leave Los Angeles, Patrick speculated that he has no plans to join a new team. While the NBA's all-time leading scorer has certainly earned the right to enjoy his summer vacation, it is not difficult to agree with the assessment that his son should be looking to build camaraderie with his teammates. After all, the Lakers are clearly Dončić's team now as James may only have one or two years left in his illustrious career. The younger James should be looking for any opportunity to step out of his father's footsteps and build his own relationship with the remainder of the roster -- particularly the Lakers' newest franchise star.
