When it comes to injuries, sometimes it seems like if the San Francisco 49ers didn't have bad luck, they wouldn't have any luck at all.
The latest blow came on Wednesday after news broke that rookie wide receiver and 2nd-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling was being placed on injured reserve — an injury that will now cost him almost all of his rookie season, at best.
