49ers rookie De'Zhaun Stribling expected to miss at least seven weeks

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling is in rehab for an ankle injury, with expectations he will not return until at least Week 12. Stribling suffered the injury during a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, which led to his placement on injured reserve. He has yet to walk on the injured foot and is using a knee scooter. The 49ers face wider injury issues at the receiver position, though they have managed to win games without him. Head coach Kyle Shanahan previously indicated a 10-week recovery timeline after surgery for the second-round draft pick from Ole Miss.
