NEED TO KNOW

• Browns' Shelby Harris called San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings "a hoe" after their game on Sunday

• Harris told reporters he can "see why" Jennings was punched "in the nuts" by a Carolina Panthers player in the Browns' game the week before

• Browns reporter Camryn Justice said she was told Jennings "was talking about wives and children" to his opponents

Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Shelby Harris had a lot to say about 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings after their teams faced off on Sunday.

Following the 49ers' defeat of the Browns 26-8 on Sunday, Nov. 30, reporters spoke to Harris, 34, who said he can "see why" Jennings, 28, was punched in his groin by Carolina Panthers' Tre'von Moehrig a week earlier.

"He's a hoe, and I want that known," Harris told reporters after the game, when asked about the moment that Jennings talked trash to Harris' teammate, Maliek Collins, after Collins was injured during the third quarter.

"Like, I see why he got punched in the nuts," Harris continued, "because he said some things that you should not say to another man, ever."

Harris said he doesn't "respect" Jennings' behavior on the field, "because you say that then run behind your O-line."

"That's some real soft shit, and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched him in the nuts, I'm surprised nobody punched him in the jaw yet," Harris concluded.

Browns star Myles Garrett also spoke about Jennings after Sunday's game, telling reporters the 49er "had a lot to say that was demeaning and disparaging towards some of our players."

"I can't speak for how he was raised," said Garrett, 29.

Browns reporter Camryn Justice said in a post on X she "was told [Jennings] was talking about wives and children" to his opponents. "Which obviously is always off limits in any scenario," Justice added.

Jennings was seen slapping Carolina's Moehrig, 26, at the end of their Nov. 24 matchup. Replays later showed that moments before, Moehrig appearing to swing a closed-fist punch directly at Jennings’ unprotected crotch, causing the 49ers receiver to keel over and then plead with officials to penalize the Panthers defender.

"I was just responding to some childish behavior," Jennings told reporters when asked about his postgame punch, according to ESPN.

Moehrig was suspended one game for his hit to Jennings' lower half, per CBS.
