49ers' Stribling sits with hamstring tightness

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling missed practice Wednesday with hamstring tightness, though the team confirmed it's not a strain.

The 49ers' second-round pick is dealing with the injury as the team already has Ricky Pearsall on injured reserve with a PCL injury and veteran Christian Kirk missing practice with a calf issue. Quarterback Brock Purdy has previously praised Stribling's early work, but any extended absence could impact his plans for immediate contributions this season. forestarrow.rest
