49ers rookie WR Stribling out with hamstring

49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling is out of practice with hamstring tightness, with the team noting it's not a strain.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling missed practice due to hamstring tightness, though the team clarified he is not dealing with a strain. The absence comes after the 49ers placed Ricky Pearsall on injured reserve with a PCL injury.

Stribling, the first pick of the second round, has earned positive reviews from quarterback Brock Purdy during early work. While a brief absence likely won't affect his role plans, extended time off would hinder his potential early impact. Veteran Christian Kirk is also missing practice with a calf injury. somethingsdifferent.biz
