SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings returned to practice Monday for the first time in more than a month in a sign that he will be ready to start the season.

Jennings left practice early with a calf injury on July 27 and hadn't been on the field for an official practice with the team since then. Jennings was also seeking a new contract, but has apparently returned to the field without that in place as the team prepares for the opener on Sunday at Seattle.

Jennings is entering the final year of a two-year, $15.4 million contract and is seeking a long-term extension before the regular season after coming off the best season of this career. That contract signed in 2024 included escalators that increased his pay by $3.5 million this season.
