The 49ers' revolving door of injuries continues to spin. WR De'Zhaun Stribling missed Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury and is considered day to day, according to insider Matt Maiocco. WR Mike Evans returned on Saturday after exiting Tuesday's practice with quad tightness. Evans has been on and off the field with quad trouble all month, although Maiocco said the issue is not serious. Neither Evans nor Stribling seems in danger of missing Week 1, but we'll keep an eye on both.

49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling returned to practice on Thursday. He missed only a few days with what was evidently a minor hamstring injury. Barring a setback, Stribling's 2026 fantasy outlook is unaffected. He was off to a strong start in camp before the hamstring and has a good chance to open the season as one of San Francisco's top three WRs.

The 49ers signed WR Deebo Samuel to a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, according to multiple reports. Samuel spent his first six NFL seasons in San Francisco (2019 to 2024) and returns amid injuries to Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk.

Niners WR Ricky Pearsall is sitting out of Wednesday's practice because of swelling in the same knee he injured last season, according to multiple reports. The PCL injury in that knee cost him eight games, including some late season aggravations.
