Jennings out for season

Legacy · Nov 19, 2008

He spent more time on the injury list than anyone on the roster and when tackle Jonas Jennings was placed on injured reserve Tuesday by the 49ers following shoulder surgery, it probably ended his tenure in San Francisco, given that he will count against the salary cap in 2009.

Jennings, an eight-year veteran who turns 31 Friday, had surgery on his right shoulder at Stanford Hospital, where team orthopedist Dr. Tim McAndrews performed the operation.

To take Jennings' spot on the roster, the 49ers signed tackle Jacob Bender, a 6-foot-6, 320-pound player, off the Patriots' practice squad. Jennings was not available for comment Tuesday.

"It wasn't getting any better. Surgery was inevitable," 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan said. "His right shoulder came out. They went in and tightened it down to get it fixed."
