Jauan Jennings is one of several players to return to practice for the San Francisco 49ers this week. At 4-4, the Niners haven't had the best season and they're seemingly gearing up at the right time.
The second half of the season is about to start and they could get on a heater that would put them in a privileged position for the 2024 NFL playoffs.
Jennings returned to practice on Monday alongside other important players like kicker Jake Moody, offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and running back Christian McCaffrey.
This is major for the 49ers, but after missing a couple of games, fantasy managers must be wondering if they need to be concerned about Jennings' status for Week 10.

Should fantasy managers be concerned about Jauan Jennings in fantasy football Week 10?
Returning from their bye week, the 49ers are getting back multiple players that can put them closer to the team that went all the way to the Super Bowl last season.
Jauan Jennings is back after suffering a hip injury in Week 6, which resulted in him missing the Week 7 and 8 matchups against the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys, respectively.
The first injury report is expected to be out later on Wednesday to give fans and managers a clearer picture of Jennings' chances to play this weekend.
The 49ers face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost to the Chiefs in overtime on Monday. Jennings has caught 25 passes for 404 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in six games. With Brandon Aiyuk out for the remainder of the season, Jennings' availability will be even more important for the 49ers.
His versatility will give the offense a major boost, as he can run the ball and block to help running backs gain yards.
San Francisco is in the thick of the hardest part of its schedule. After the Buccaneers, they will clash with the Seattle Seahawks again before facing off against the Green Bay Packers, the Buffalo Bills, the Chicago Bears and the rising LA Rams.
They will see Tua Tagovailoa and Co. after that, before going against the Detroit Lions in a NFC Championship Game rematch.
Jauan Jennings is ranked as the WR38 by ESPN, projected to get four receptions, 53 yards and 10.57 fantasy points. He's expected to go against rookie Ricky Pearsall for the WR2 spot on the 49ers depth against a Buccaneers team that has allowed 255 passing yards per outing.
