49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling expected to miss at least 4 weeks with deltoid sprain
Ian Rapoport said Stribling is seeking more opinions, and surgery remains possible as the 49ers take a cautious approach.
- NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport confirmed on September 13 that San Francisco rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling will miss at least four weeks with a deltoid sprain in his ankle.
- During the September 11 game in Melbourne, Australia, Stribling suffered the ankle injury against the Los Angeles Rams after a non-contact play while running a route, forcing him to leave the field on a cart.
- While surgery is not currently planned, Stribling is seeking additional medical opinions to determine the best course of action; San Francisco remains prepared to be cautious with the rookie's recovery rather than rushing him back.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan faces a roster setback, as Stribling was expected to contribute significantly to the offense after emerging as a top receiver during training camp.
- Missing at least four weeks, Stribling will force fantasy managers to look in a different direction while the rookie recovers from the deltoid sprain injury.
