49ers’ De’Zhaun Stribling gets hamstring injury update

The San Francisco 49ers selected Ole Miss wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, aiming to enhance their passing attack. Early in training camp, quarterback Brock Purdy praised the rookie, noting his attention to detail, understanding of route depths, and ability to quickly adapt to Kyle Shanahan’s complex offense. Purdy emphasized that Stribling was rapidly earning trust and proving his reliability during the first days of practice.

However, Stribling’s promising start to camp experienced a setback. According to NFL Network insider Adam Schefter on X, the 49ers held Stribling out of practice due to what the team described as hamstring tightness. While experiencing minor muscle tweaks early in camp is relatively common, any missed practice time can hinder the momentum and on-field chemistry Stribling was building with Purdy and the first-team offense.

Despite this temporary setback, the organization remains optimistic about Stribling’s long-term potential. His strong hands, precise route-running, and professional demeanor were evident from day one. Once the medical staff clears him of his hamstring tightness, San Francisco expects the second-round pick to return and compete for immediate targets in the 2026 receiving corps.
