Jennings could be back after Ravens game
According to ProFootballTalk.com, Jonas Jennings could return to the team soon after their game against the Baltimore Ravens.
A league source tells us that the San Francisco 49ers could see the return of tackle Jonas Jennings as soon as this week following a leave of absence for personal reasons.
