Our Seahawks just took a brutal 32-29 loss from the San Francisco 49ers, but even after that painful defeat, the buzz from NFL insiders isn’t about San Fran’s victory, it’s about their mounting injury woes driving them to the trade market. It’s a tough pill to swallow, knowing they beat us, yet they are already scrambling.
The Deebo Dilemma and Rapoport’s Read
The 49ers are clearly feeling the heat, especially with wide receiver Deebo Samuel sidelined. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport dropped the news that Samuel suffered a “bad” hamstring pull and is expected to be out for “a couple weeks.” He’ll be reevaluated following the 49ers’ Week 8 bye. That’s a huge blow to their receiving corps, and Rapoport isn’t wasting any time predicting their next move. During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, he brought up a name he’s “been wondering about”: Jauan Jennings. Rapoport expects Jennings’ name to “heat up a little bit over the next, probably couple days and weeks” as the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaches.
Jennings’ Odd Journey Back To San Fran?
So, who’s Jauan Jennings and why is he suddenly on the 49ers’ radar? Well, the dude has been “largely a nonfactor” for the Minnesota Vikings this season. Ouch. But here’s the kicker: he “enjoyed far more success” during the last five seasons when he was actually with the 49ers. Talk about a potential reunion! The situation makes a lot of sense for San Francisco given their wide receiver concerns, especially with Samuel out. It feels a bit wild that after beating us, they are already looking to patch up holes, but that’s the NFL.
It stings to take a loss like that, especially to a rival. While the 49ers might be scrambling for receiver help before November 10th, our Hawks need to buckle down and focus on what’s next. We saw their issues firsthand; now we gotta go out and handle our business.
