Christian Kirk, WR (SF)

Not playing Thursday

Home  >  News

Kirk (calf) is not suited up for Thursday's preseason opener against the Titans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kirk will spend Thursday night's contest out of uniform on the sideline as he continues to deal with the calf injury he sustained in late July. The wide receiver is set to be the No. 3 option behind Mike Evans (quadriceps) and recently re-signed Deebo Samuel, though Evans' age and injury could allow Kirk to see an increased snap share over the course of the regular season.
