Niners Nation on De'Zhaun Stribling

Stribling out at least a month with Grade 2 ankle sprain; 6–8 weeks before running.

49ers rookie De'Zhaun Stribling suffered a deltoid sprain in ankle and is expected to miss 'at least a month.' The source indicates the 49ers are bracing for a Grade 2 injury, which typically results in a walking boot or brace for a few weeks with running unable to begin until 6 to 8 weeks; Grade 2 sprains are more severe than mild Grade 1 sprains (1–3 weeks) but less severe than Grade 3 complete ruptures requiring surgery and three months or longer recovery.
