Report: 49ers Placing WR De’Zhaun Stribling on IR
Krueger said Slayton’s size and speed could fill the role left by Stribling, while the 49ers also weigh Christian Kirk’s injury recovery.
- On Wednesday, the San Francisco 49ers placed rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling on injured reserve due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, sidelining him at least four games.
- To fill the roster vacancy, the team promoted wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge from the practice squad to the active roster, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, after Hodge served as a practice squad elevation last week.
- KNBR analyst Larry Krueger urged San Francisco to sign free-agent wideout Darius Slayton, arguing both receivers share similar physical profiles suited to head coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive design.
- Slayton, a big-bodied receiver who ran 4.36 and 4.39 coming out of college, has recorded 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2019, matching the receiver archetype San Francisco needs.
- While Christian Kirk remains available, his injury status makes him unreliable, leaving veterans Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel to anchor the receiving corps as San Francisco tests its depth at wide receiver beginning Sunday against Miami.
