De'Zhaun Stribling-WR-Ole Miss - 33rd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft

This is the best news we could have expected. I thought for sure it was a High ankle sprain which could last 6-8 weeks.

I think it could still be the 8 weeks depending on rehab. Regardless of what it ends up being, still better than a torn achillies.

Thank u substation, u are too good to us!

I take it back now that I read that surgery is not off the table. Is this type i
Of surgery season ending or just something that will keep him out abit longer?

How is this good news. Already another mf hurt. WTF

Different injuries but the situation similar. They are thinking it doesn't need surgery. He may recover and be back. They were doing the same thing with Pearsall. His knee didn't respond like it should.

You can stop after the bold. These are completely different situations.

Most people thought it was an achilles, which would have been season ending.

It's a long year, and hopefully we get Strib back halfway through it.

So he has a ligament sprain and it's 4 weeks at least. With the possibility of 6 - 8 weeks if it doesn't go well. It sounds not too serious but it's a bummer he's out for a while at the beginning. Such a promising start in pre season and training camp. I was looking forward to seeing him ball out. Now we just have to wait longer and hope he heals up. We have Deebo, Demarcus Robinson, Mike Evans, Kittle, CMC. I think we have enough weapons. Just was looking forward to seeing this rookie progress. Now we have a wait a little longer.

It just never stops. Fortunately, Evans, Robinson, and Deebo all showed they can contribute and help make the passing game go. Perhaps it will give Watkins and Cowing some more chances to show what they can do. Still, I was really looking forward to seeing Stribling out there. Fingers crossed that it really is only four weeks

Maybe we get him back for the Commanders game?....or after the BYE for the Raiders?

His season is done. No way Shanny puts him back in. He's in the doghouse.

No way you're a 49er fan. I don't think I've ever read one positive comment from you.

Having some background on foot biomechanics, I can say this is a very painful injury. Much more painful than the more common injury of the outside of the foot rolling under. The deltoid in the supporting group on the inside of the foot, and due to the fact the arch moves up and down more than the outside of the foot, their is not time that weight on the foot is not going to cause pain. Hence, a boot is normally required for a week or more to prevent putting tension of the ligaments.

We can all guess but 4+ weeks is the most logical timeframe. I hate it for the kid. He was going to have an impact early. Let's hope that impact begins by October 11 up in Seattle.

Agree, it really did look like the Achilles from TV, I think he'll be fine. I'd rather he be fresh midseason and help us big time in the playoffs.

Well it could still be season ending and I think we need to think that if he does come back, it'll be the end of the season, and he might not come back. It's possible the rehab doesn't work and he needs surgery.

I would love for him to come back and crush it, I know he's tough as hell. I'm just not personally over optimistic with his return.
