Which Rookies Are Standing Out? 7 Takeaways From Week 1 Of The Preseason

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

Impact 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.

Still not practicing Kirk (calf) remained sidelined at Saturday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Ricky Pearsall (knee, IR) out for the season, Kirk is a candidate to be involved early and often in the 49ers' passing game in his first season with the club, but a calf injury has kept him out of drills for nearly two weeks. Fellow WRs Mike Evans (quadriceps) and Jacob Cowing (hip) also sat out Saturday, so the current top healthy options at the position are Deebo Samuel, rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Watkins.

Works on side Monday Kirk (calf) worked out on the side at Monday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Ricky Pearsall (knee, IR) out for the season, the 49ers also were without Mike Evans (quadriceps) and rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) on Monday, though both Stribling and Kirk appeared to be operating at at least three-quarters speed. Kirk now has missed a week of practice, but his activity level to begin this week indicates he's likely to mix back into drills in the near future.

Dealing with calf injury Kirk sustained a calf injury during Sunday's practice and is not practicing Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kirk walked off the field with trainers Sunday. Soft-tissue injuries are common during training camp, as players are ramping up to full speed and in pads after a long offseason. The severity of Kirk's calf strain isn't known, but consider him day-to-day. Kirk signed with the Niners in March and is expected to operate as the primary slot receiver alongside Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall this season.

Walks off with injury at practice Kirk walked off with an apparent injury during the 49ers' practice Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kirk was seen leaving with a team trainer midway through a practice session, though the nature of the issue is still unclear. The 29-year-old joined San Francisco on a one-year, $6 million deal in March after spending last season in Houston, where he logged 28 catches (on 52 targets) for 239 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games. Kirk will likely open the 2026 campaign as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver behind Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall, so it will be worth monitoring his status in the team's upcoming training-camp practices.
