After being absent last week, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has rejoined his teammates for organized team activities (OTAs) this week. While Jennings is present, it remains unclear if he will participate in this afternoon's practice session, which kicks off at 12:30 p.m. PT.

This article will be updated with his status as more information becomes available.

The 49ers tendered the restricted free agent a one-year contract worth $4.89 million, but the veteran receiver has yet to sign the deal. Since this phase of the offseason program is voluntary, Jennings isn't required to rejoin his team yet but has done so ahead of next week's mandatory minicamp.

Jennings undoubtedly seeks long-term financial security as he is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next year.

When asked about Jennings in February, general manager John Lynch stated, "Jauan is really important to what we do. I think he continues to show that. If the tender is the vehicle to keep him around for another year … I think we're also interested in extending him out. There may be an opportunity to do that. We'll just have to see where that goes and if we can come to an agreement there."

Last season, Jennings caught 19 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown. He added 10 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown through three playoff games.
