49ers Place De'Zhaun Stribling and Jake Tonges on IR Following Injuries

The San Francisco 49ers have announced that rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling and fourth-year tight end Jake Tonges will be placed on injured reserve following injuries sustained during their Week 1 victory against the Los Angeles Rams.

Stribling is dealing with an ankle injury, while Tonges has an MCL injury. Both players are expected to miss at least the next four games, making them ineligible to return until Week 6 when the 49ers face the Washington Commanders.

In light of these injuries, the 49ers are expected to rely more heavily on veteran players such as Mike Evans and George Kittle. Additionally, KhaDarel Hodge has been promoted to the 53-man roster, potentially providing further options for the team in the upcoming games.
