Jauan Jennings - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs just one catch despite Jefferson injury Jennings caught one of two targets for one yard Sunday in a 23-16 win against Tampa Bay.

Impact Although Justin Jefferson (ankle) departed in the first half Sunday and didn't return, Jennings didn't see an increase in his production. He did, however, post an 80 percent offensive snap share, and Jennings figures to slide into the No. 2 wideout role alongside Jordan Addison on Sunday versus Miami if Jefferson can't suit up. Even with that in mind, Jennings has produced just one catch on three targets through two contests, so expectations should be held in check regardless of Jefferson's status.

Back at practice Jennings (personal) was not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Jennings was unable to practice all week before ultimately sitting out Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears while dealing with a personal matter. The 29-year-old returned to practice Wednesday, and he'll stand to operate as Minnesota's No. 3 option at wide receiver in the return of quarterback Kyler Murray against the Buccaneers in Week 3.

Ruled out for Week 2 Jennings (not injury related - personal) won't play Sunday in Chicago.

Impact Jennings didn't practice at all this week due to a personal matter and thus now has been ruled out for Week 2 action. The Vikings lean on Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison the most at wide receiver, but some targets seemingly will be available for Tai Felton and even Myles Price in Jennings' absence. Jennings' next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Sept. 27 at Tampa Bay.

The Week 1 Plays That Stood Out, From Josh Allen's Heroics To Kyle Monangai's TD

Blanked in Minnesota debut Jennings did not bring in his lone target during the Vikings' 39-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Kyler Murray's first pass attempt of the game was to Jennings, resulting in a Kiesean Nixon interception that led to a 59-yard field goal from Trevor Smack six plays later. Jennings didn't see another pass the rest of the way, even after Carson Wentz took over as the Vikings QB for Murray after the former left the game due to a concussion. Jennings' 31 snaps on offense were third-most among wide receivers behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but the lack of offensive output from Jennings was disappointing given the solid production he had with the 49ers in 2024 and 2025. He'll look for better results in the Vikings' Week 2 clash Sept. 20, against a Bears defense that gave up 361 passing yards to Bryce Young in a 59-37 Week 1 win for Chicago.

SEPTEMBER 12 • SI.COM

Sits out final two preseason contests Jennings played four snaps in the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants before being held out for rest purposes in the final two exhibition tilts.

Impact Signed to a one-year, $8 million deal in May, Jennings is locked in as the Vikings' No. 3 receiver and didn't need to compete for a job during the preseason. With San Francisco last season, Jennings primarily operated as the "X" receiver and turned in a 55-643-9 receiving line on 90 targets over 15 games. With Justin Jefferson occupying the X spot for Minnesota and Jordan Addison mainly working as a "Z" receiver, Jennings could end up seeing most of his time out of the slot with his new squad. While a slot role often lends itself to catchable, higher-percentage targets, Jefferson will operate as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game, and Addison is capable of bumping inside and will likely be prioritized ahead of Jennings in two-wide formations. Moreover, Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray doesn't have an extensive track record of supporting more than one fantasy viable pass catcher, so Jennings could struggle to attain consistent week-to-week volume while he's competing with the likes of Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson for the remaining targets that don't go to Jefferson.

Logs four snaps in preseason opener Jennings played four snaps on offense and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Jennings and the rest of the Vikings' top skill position players saw minimal work in Saturday's exhibition game, with Justin Jefferson being a healthy scratch. Jennings signed a one-year contract with the Vikings in May after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers. He's coming off a 2025 campaign when he caught 55 passes (on 90 targets) for 643 yards and nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games. Jennings is slated to serve as Minnesota's WR3 behind Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
