49ers rookie De'Zhaun Stribling returns to practice after injury setback

De'Zhaun Stribling returned to practice for the San Francisco 49ers on August 6, 2026, following a hamstring injury. The 49ers conducted their eighth training camp practice amid a growing injury list, which now includes 16 players, as offensive lineman Nick Zakelj missed practice with an elbow injury. Stribling's return is seen as encouraging, with positive reviews from teammates. The 49ers are also continuing their competition for the left guard position, with Robert Jones receiving first-team reps while Connor Colby rotated with backups. The team engages in a walk-through practice on August 7 before returning to the field on August 8.
