The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams kicked off their Thursday night matchup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During the first quarter, 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling left the game with an ankle injury. The team announced at the end of the opening quarter that the player was questionable to return. The 49ers held a 3-0 lead at the time of the announcement. Stribling was the top selection for San Francisco in the 2026 NFL Draft and had served as a focal point in the team's offensive game plan throughout the preseason. If he remains sidelined, the 49ers must rely on their depth chart featuring Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, and KhaDarel Hodge to manage the passing attack for the remainder of the contest.
