Stribling Injury Rattles Niners Depth | San Francisco 49ers News

The Niners stunned the Rams in Australia to open the season, but a major blow hit their receiving corps when DeZhaun Stribling went down with a serious ankle injury. Despite pushing through early pain, he couldn’t continue — raising alarms about whether the medical staff rushed him back too soon. With Stribling’s promising preseason showing now on hold, the team faces a tough call: surgery could end his season, or conservative treatment might sideline him for weeks. Already deep at WR with Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel lighting up Week 1, the Niners’ depth beyond the top tier is shaky — making this injury not just a setback, but a critical roster decision as they aim to stay healthy and competitive.
