Carolina Panthers safety Tre’Von Moehrig and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings got into a physical altercation at the conclusion of Monday’s game at Levi’s Stadium. It all started during the game, when Moehrig hit Jennings in the groin. Jennings retaliated after the game, throwing a punch at Moehrig.

Moehrig said after the game that Jennings initially pushed him in the back. He downplayed the incident, adding that Jennings “wanted to do a little dirty stuff.”

“He hit me in the back… that’s really all it was. Not much,” Moehrig said, via Joe Person of The Athletic. “… There really isn’t that much to it, bro. It was just that, you know what I’m saying? Like I said, I’ll take that one. He wanted to do a little dirty stuff, so it is what it is, man.”

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he would be speaking with Moehrig once he got back to the locker room. He declined to comment further until he watches the film.

“I’ll get to the bottom of that,” Canales said. “I wanna see what exactly happened, and I haven’t had a chance to talk to Tre [yet]. That’ll be a conversation that I’ll dig into. … I’ll talk to him tonight, and I wanna make sure — I’ll have a chance right now to look at the film and see what happened.”

49ers head coach  Kyle Shanahan  addressed the incident after the game. He stood by Jennings after being on the receiving end of a “cheap shot.”

“The guy took a cheap shot and hit him in the balls,” Shanahan said. “I was real proud of Jauan for not losing his mind out there and getting to the sideline.”
