49ers Rookie WR Stribling Out With Hamstring Tightness

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling is out of practice due to hamstring tightness, the team confirmed Saturday.

The injury comes as the 49ers placed Ricky Pearsall 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 this year, has earned rave reviews from quarterback Brock Purdy during early work. While a brief absence likely won't affect his planned role, extended time off would impact his early impact. afnews.co.za
