Rapoport: De’Zhaun Stribling likely to miss some time; tests on hold until the weekend

San Francisco 49ers rookie De’Zhaun Stribling is likely to miss some time following an ankle injury sustained during the team's Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. The injury occurred early in the second quarter, and Stribling re-aggravated it upon re-entering the game. However, the good news is that his Achilles tendon remains intact.

Ian Rapoport confirmed the injury is not an Achilles tear, but it is still an ankle injury. Stribling, who was the team's most active receiver before his injury, will undergo tests after the 49ers' return flight from Australia.
