The 11-time Pro Bowl selection joined Jennings (shoulder) in being listed as questionable on Friday to play for San Francisco (1-0).
The 49ers will turn to Mac Jones with fellow quarterback Brock Purdy inactive due an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

Jennings injured his shoulder Sunday and left in the fourth quarter after two catches for 16 yards.
San Francisco also listed wide receiver Jordan Watkins, running back Jordan James, linebacker Nick Martin, offensive linemen Drew Moss and Austen Pleasants, and defensive lineman Jordan Jefferson as inactive for the game.
As for the Saints (0-1), they listed the following players as inactive: defensive ends Chase Young and Jonathan Bullard, offensive lineman Trevor Penning, defensive tackle Khristian Boyd, cornerback Rejzohn Wright, wide receiver Trey Palmer and offensive guard Xavier Truss.
