On Sunday, 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings initiated an animated first-half conversation<\/a> with coach Kyle Shanahan. On Monday, Shanahan downplayed the interaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when you\u2019re in an intense football game and stuff that two people who know each other pretty well and are pretty competitive about things can have really intense conversations that don\u2019t always come off as a normal conversation, just hanging out after a press conference with you,\u201d Shanahan told reporters. \u201cBut, it\u2019s stuff that you don\u2019t need to make too many assumptions about because it wasn\u2019t anything that big of a deal. Yeah, we were aggressive and intense in our conversations, but I think conversations like that can also lead to making people closer and leading to a better outcome for people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shanahan also addressed Jennings\u2019s decision to sound off<\/a> after the game about the extent of his current injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Jauan\u2019s in a good mental space,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cI think Jauan\u2019s a very emotional player. I think that\u2019s one of the things that makes him great. So anytime we have a tough loss like that, that he is banged up and playing through a lot of stuff, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s in the best mood, especially after a loss like that. But, Jauan is good. Jauan battled completely to come play in that game. I know he\u2019ll battle it again to do it this week. I\u2019ve got a lot of love for Jauan and I just hope he can get healthier so he can get back out there and be more consistent for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennings has generally been salty this year. He reportedly asked for a new contract or a trade, just before training camp opened. He then missed much of camp and the preseason with a calf injury. Eventually, he got a minor tweak to his deal.<\/p>\n

Last year, Jennings caught 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games. This year, through four games in which he has played, Jennings has 10 catches for 136 yards and one touchdown. In Sunday\u2019s 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers, Jennings had one catch for seven yards on three targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Sunday, 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings initiated an animated first-half conversation with coach Kyle Shanahan.
