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.
Per the source, the team gave Jennings a week off as a result of multiple personal issues that came together all at once.
One of the issues, as we understand it, is an illness to a member of his immediate family. We don't have specific information as to any of the other problems he's experiencing, but we're told that there's no issue with Jennings himself.
The 49ers are on a bye for Week Six, and return to action on October 21 when the travel to the Meadowlands to face the Giants.

49ers-Cardinals: Jimmy Garoppolo misses another practice; Trey Lance could start Week 5
It would appear that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still sidelined due to the calf injury he suffered during this past weekend's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He was not on the field with his teammates for today's practice, hurting his chances of playing on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kyle Shanahan: Jimmy Garoppolo 'doing a lot better,' 49ers QB could be 'ready to go' for Week 7
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined KNBR this morning and provided an update on his starting quarterback. No, not rookie Trey Lance. Jimmy Garoppolo.
If healthy, Garoppolo is expected to be the Week 7 starter against the Indianapolis Colts. Lance may not even be available for that game. The rookie quarterback suffered a knee sprain during his first start this past weekend. The injury could keep him out for one or two weeks.

Some wondered if San Francisco 49ers pass rusher Dee Ford would ever play an NFL snap again. Ford never questioned that. He started dealing with a back injury after Week 1 last season and never returned to the field in 2020. Most felt that any contributions from Ford this season would be a bonus for the 49ers.

Retirement, though, was never on Ford's mind.
"For me, personally, [the injury] was tough," Ford said this morning on KNBR's Murph & Mac show. "... I always
