Is Jauan Jennings playing tonight? Why 49ers WR is off to quiet start vs. Seahawks

With George Kittle out for the season, the San Francisco 49ers need all of their pass-catchers to step up in the divisional-round game against the Seattle Seahawks, especially wide receiver Jauan Jennings.

Kittle suffered a torn Achilles last week, which was just the latest massive blow to the 49ers' season.

While the Niners need a lot out of Jennings, he isn't giving it to them early on in the game against the Seahawks on Saturday night.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Jauan Jennings playing tonight?

Yes, Jennings is active and healthy, and he does have one catch for four yards on two targets, but that's all he has done thus far.

It's going to be tough sledding for Jennings in this game, as he's facing one of the best secondary groups and defenses in the NFL.
