49ers rookie WR Stribling sidelined with hamstring tightness

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

The San Francisco 49ers have rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling sidelined with hamstring tightness, though the team has clarified he is not dealing with a strain. This comes as the 49ers adjust to life without Ricky Pearsall, who was placed on injured reserve with a PCL injury.

Veteran Christian Kirk is also missing practice with a calf injury. Stribling, the first pick of the second round, has earned rave reviews from QB Brock Purdy for his early work. While a brief absence likely won't impact his role, extended time off the field could affect his early impact. musojam.blog
