SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — After spending most of the summer dealing with a calf injury and contract talks, receiver Jauan Jennings is ready to focus on the season now that both of those have been resolved for now.
Jennings worked out an agreement with the San Francisco 49ers to add an additional $3 million in playing time incentives to his contract this season after he was able to return to practice Monday after being sidelined for five weeks.
“It’s been feeling a lot better,” Jennings said Thursday about his calf. “Doing exactly how we expected. Ready to go.”
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Jennings can earn that money through unspecified playing time incentives in the final year of the deal before he can hit unrestricted free agency. Jennings can now earn up to $10.5 million this season.
