Yahoo Sports NFL on De'Zhaun Stribling

Kirk's injury opens third receiver role for Stribling with Purdy's praise.

With Christian Kirk sidelined by injury, Stribling has a golden opportunity to solidify the third receiver role with minimal competition. Brock Purdy praised Stribling's early returns in his press conference, impressed by his speed and separation skills combined with his bigger body and willingness to go over the middle. Stribling can move all over the field and flip positions with Ricky Pearsall, positioning him to be explosive alongside Mike Evans and Pearsall in the 49ers offense.
