Jauan Jennings has been incredibly productive for the San Francisco 49ers lately.

Over the last seven games, Jennings has hauled in seven touchdowns and has been a reliable playmaker in San Francisco's offense. The 28-year-old is showing out in a contract year.

Though Jennings has been a touchdown machine for the 49ers this season, he's off to a slow start in Week 17 versus the Chicago Bears.

Is Jauan Jennings playing today?

Yes, Jennings is healthy and playing today.

However, he didn't tally a catch in the first quarter. Quarterback Brock Purdy completed passes to three different receivers in the opening period, but Jennings wasn't one of them.

Jennings should be able to get it going soon. He's too valuable a player in San Francisco's offense to be held catchless.
