Jauan Jennings Plays Through Ankle and Rib Injuries After Spat

Jauan Jennings, listed as questionable with ankle and rib injuries, played for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium but was involved in a heated sideline exchange with head coach Kyle Shanahan before halftime and finished the 30-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with one catch for seven yards. Jennings had no targets in the first half, expressed visible frustration, and was later penalized twice, including a false start and an offensive pass interference that negated a 6-yard catch by Christian McCaffrey.

Jennings returned to limited practice during the week after missing work earlier because of ankle and rib issues. He suited up despite the ailments and afterward detailed the extent of his injuries, saying he is playing through both a high and a low ankle sprain and "I've got five broken ribs." He added that playing through pain is part of the job, saying, "You keep playing. Nobody cares, you keep playing. That's what we do."

The confrontation with Shanahan unfolded late in the first half as the 49ers prepared for a two-minute drill. Video and sideline accounts show Shanahan covering his mouth with a playcard while staff members stepped between the coach...
