The 49ers reportedly will be without rookie receiver De'Zhaun Stribling for some time 🤕

Two recent guests knew what they were talking about when I interviewed them about their experiences traveling to and from Australia. They nailed it! Saint Mary’s basketball coach Mickey McConnell: youtu.be/D0rLoL8p61o?... Australian official Nigel Warren: youtu.be/R_SiwMi8e1I?...

My takeaways from the 49ers' dominant opening-week victory over the L.A. Rams. To read: www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nfl/san-fran...

What we learned as Brock Purdy, Mike Evans fuel 49ers' season-opening win over Rams in Australia

Quarterback Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes as the San Francisco 49ers opened the season with a convincing win over the Los Angeles Rams.

nbcsportsbayarea.com

The Rams' sleep pattern was clearly messed up after Quentin Lake's first-half interception and their defense's nap celebration in the end zone.

Thus far, Myles Garrett has the same stat line as Aaron Donald: No tackles, no sacks, no nothing.

The goal-line stand is official. Fred Warner and Gracen Halton are credited with the stop of Matthew Stafford at the goal line.

The play is under review...

Goal-line stand for the 49ers, and that brings back some memories of fourth-down stops against the Rams in Week 5 of last season.

49ers injury report WR De’Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is OUT.

TE Jake Tonges is down with what appears to be a lower leg injury.

WR De’Zhaun Stribling is being carted off the sideline from the medical tent.

Kaelon Black has 36 yards on seven carries. They're pounding the ball with him, and that set up Brock Purdy's play-action big-hitter to Demarcus Robinson.

Brock Purdy with a beautiful 39-yard TD pass to Demarcus Robinson and the 49ers re-take the lead.

Rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling sustained an injury and is being helped off the field.

Rookie RB Kaelon Black is seeing a lot of action, and WR De'Zhaun Stribling is back in the game.

Renardo Green did not have an interception last season. He gets one vs. Matthew Stafford to prevent the Rams from tacking onto their 7-3 lead. The pass was intended for Puka Nacua.

Osa Odighizuwa has gotten off to a very good start. And Renardo Green gets the pick of Matthew Stafford.

First two major mistakes of the game are committed by the 49ers: Ji'Ayir Brown's gamble, resulting in Puka Nacua's 41-yard gain; and Brock Purdy's interception.

WR De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is questionable to return to the game.

If the first drive is any indication, the 49ers seem to have a lot of confidence in rookie RB Kaelon Black, who subbed in multiple times for Christian McCaffrey.

Mike Evans was not on the field for that third-and-goal play from the 2.

After all that, the 49ers settle for a field goal to take a 3-0 lead.

Rookie Kaelon Black is the 49ers' backup running back. Their third RB, Jordan James, is not active. We'll see if the carve out some significant playing time for Black behind Christian McCaffrey.
