49ers’ Wr De’zhaun Stribling Sits Out Saturday’s Practice With Hamstring Tightness
The San Francisco 49ers headed into Saturday’s practice thin at wide receiver. Ricky Pearsall’s season is over with a lingering PCL injury. Christian Kirk has a calf strain.
According to the media on hand, rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling isn’t practicing due to hamstring tightness. This team cannot catch a break. There’s no need for the Niners to push Stribling, so if there’s any indication of tightness or injury, they should give their first-year wideout as much time as he needs to return 100%. The 49ers want to avoid it becoming a strain.
The more the top wideouts miss, the more other players will get their opportunities. We know about Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing, but undrafted free agent Wesley Grimes is a big beneficiary, as he could potentially slide into the “F” role, being a bigger body, as well as “Z” opposite Mike Evans.
Grimes was our sleeper pick to push for a roster spot, but make the practice squad at the very least.
