49ers rookie WR Stribling out with hamstring tightness

49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling is out of practice with hamstring tightness, though the team confirms he's not dealing with a strain.

San Francisco 49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling is sidelined with hamstring tightness, adding to the team's receiver depth concerns. The second-round pick has been absent from practice, though the 49ers clarified he's not experiencing a strain.

The injury comes after the team placed Ricky Pearsall on injured reserve with a PCL injury and with veteran Christian Kirk also missing time with a calf issue. Stribling, who has impressed quarterback Brock Purdy in early workouts, is expected to play a significant role this season despite the setback. newsindata.com
