San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings and left tackle Trent Williams will play in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
Both players had been listed as questionable for Sunday, with Jennings nursing a left shoulder injury and Williams dealing with a knee injury.
Williams tested his knee during warmups before he was determined he would be active.
Scans of Jennings’ left shoulder came back clean earlier this week, indicating he avoided a significant injury, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Jennings left the Niners’ Week 1 win over Seattle in the fourth quarter because of the injury.
San Francisco will be without starting quarterback Brock Purdy, who is out because of left shoulder and toe injuries, and tight end George Kittle, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday because of a hamstring injury.
The 49ers are not optimistic that Purdy will return from his toe injury for Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals, but it’s not out of the question and he has improved. Both coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch had indicated in previous days that Purdy’s injury was considered week-to-week.
“We’ll see for next week,” one source said about Purdy. “Next week will be tight, but he progressed a lot this week.”
