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 has yet to tally a catch. The 49ers have had two offensive drives, with their opening drive ending in a one-play pick-six, where quarterback Brock Purdy was targeting Jennings, while their second drive resulted in a Jake Tonges touchdown.

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