San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 against the New York Jets on what appeared to be a hip-drop tackle that wasn't flagged.

According to Pro Football Talk, the NFL said after the game that there should've been a flag thrown on the play.

Jennings briefly left the game before later returning.

The former Tennessee Vols standout was limited during practice this week. But according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Jennings was taken off the injury report on Thursday, meaning he's good to go for the 49ers' matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon.

In other #49ers news, WR Jauan Jennings (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday at Minnesota.

Safety Talanoa Hufanga (knee) is doubtful again.
