The San Francisco 49ers took care of business on Monday, beating the Carolina Panthers 20-9, and it looks like wide receiver Jauan Jennings had some personal business to take care of after the game. When both teams met for the postgame handshake, a shot showed Jennings being tackled to the ground by security. When he got up he was still heated about something:
That heat is directed towards Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig. It didn’t take long for fans to find the video of what the issue was:
If you were watching closely, you may have seen Jennings get up slowly after this play during the game (without noticing the shot). Jennings was grabbing the groin area, and it looked like he may have pulled a muscle. Personally, I raised an eyebrow because I knew that walk. One that no one wants to, and should ever take.
“He took a cheap shot [that] hit him in the balls,” Shanahan said in his postgame press conference. “I was really proud of Jauan for not losing his mind out there.”
Shanahan didn’t elaborate any further.
The 49ers can’t afford to lose players to injury, and the same goes for suspensions. That said, a low blow at any time is unacceptable, and we can at least see Jennings’ point of view. He’ll probably have at least a fine, and we’ll need to hope there isn’t a suspension coming. It will be telling what kind of punishment Moehrig receives from the league as well.
