49ers rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling is dealing with an ankle injury and is expected to miss significant time. After leaving the team’s season opener against the injury, he is now set to miss at least a month, according to reports.
Both outlets describe the injury as a deltoid sprain in his ankle. Yahoo Sports notes that the exact timeline remains unclear, even as the team communicates an initial estimate of “at least a month.” The Post similarly reports that Stribling is not expected back for weeks, citing the sprain as the reason.
The accounts converge on the diagnosis and the broad recovery window, but differ slightly in emphasis: one highlights the uncertainty around the timetable, while the other more directly frames the expectation of a month-long absence. No return date is reported in either source.
