De'Zhaun Stribling injury update

Key Points:

• San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling suffered a non-contact left ankle injury during the second quarter and was ruled out of the game against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia.
• Stribling, the 33rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, had previously injured his ankle in the first quarter but returned before sustaining the second injury, further depleting the 49ers' wide receiver depth.
• Other receivers available for the 49ers include Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr., Demarcus Robinson, and KhaDarel Hodge, with several key players like Christian Kirk and Ricky Pearsall sidelined due to injuries.
• Tight end Jake Tonges also exited the game with an injury and was ruled out, adding to the growing list of injured 49ers players despite recent returns of stars like Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, and George Kittle.
• Amid the mounting injuries, a tongue-in-cheek conspiracy theory about electrical substations near stadiums causing player injuries has resurfaced, linking substations near both Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara and Melbourne Cricket Ground.
