STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Stribling's durability is a concern given recent 49ers rookie injury history; needs two more healthy weeks.

Durability concern for Stribling entering his rookie season; he was kept out of practice for a few days and has only been back for about a week. The 49ers have had poor luck with early-pick rookies staying healthy: Ricky Pearsall (2024) was in and out of the lineup, and Mykel Williams (2025) suffered a torn ACL in Week 9. Shanahan expressed optimism if Stribling can string together two more weeks of practice and reps without setback.
