Stribling's Injury Deepens 49ers Woes | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers’ season opener in Australia hit a brutal snag as rookie wideout DeZhaun Stribling was carted off with a mysterious ankle injury—no contact involved—just days after returning from an earlier exit. Already monitoring tight end Jake Tonges, the team now faces mounting injury woes, including defensive lineman Alfred Collins and Ricky Pearsall sidelined for the year. Stribling, a third-round pick expected to bolster a depleted receiver corps, had only 21 snaps before his freak mishap. Fans are furious, joking he’s “born to suffer” like the franchise’s injury curse. With his Achilles intact but ankle damage still unknown, the 49ers’ hopes for a healthy start just got a whole lot darker.
