49ers snap count: Jennings makes impact away from ball

Share

Jauan Jennings caught just one pass for 3 yards in his first game as the 49ers’ No. 3 wide receiver.

But those numbers do not speak to the impact Jennings made while playing a career-high 32 offensive snaps Monday night in the 49ers’ 31-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium.

Jennings took over as the 49ers’ slot receiver for veteran Mohamed Sanu, who was placed on injured reserve Monday with a knee injury.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings did what was asked of him in the passing game, and he also made a contribution as a run-blocker. The 49ers ran the ball on 44 of their 64 offensive plays.

“Jauan is a guy who enjoys playing football,” Shanahan said. “He only plays one way. He’s very excited out there, and the more he gets out there and used to playing, I think the better he’ll get and the more he’ll help us.”

On the other side of the ball, newly acquired defensive lineman Charles Omenihu saw his first action with the team. He played 13 snaps as part of the 49ers’ nine-man defensive line rotation. He was not credited with any tackles.
