Christian Kirk News
Sunday, August 30, 8:06 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk (calf) was placed on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's 53-man roster deadline, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Kirk injured his hamstring in late July and wasn't able to play in any of the 49ers' preseason games. Now, he'll also miss at least four regular-season games before being eligible to return starting in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wide receiver injuries are nothing new for the Niners, who already placed Ricky Pearsall (knee) on season-ending IR. The injuries to Kirk and Pearsall should pave the way for De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) to open the year as the No. 2 wide receiver alongside Mike Evans. Kirk will presumably slot into the second or third receiver spot when he's healthy enough to play again.

Braxton Berrios News
Monday, June 1, 9:52 AM
Veteran wide receiver Braxton Berrios has agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Giants, as reported by NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Berrios took part in a Monday morning workout with the team, alongside fellow veterans Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and all three reportedly agreed to deals shortly thereafter. Knee and hamstring injuries have limited Berrios to only 10 games played over the past two seasons with the Dolphins and Texans, but the former All-Pro punt returner offers special teams upside as well as receiver depth should 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers miss any time to begin the year after tearing his ACL in 2025. The Giants have now added six new faces to the receiver room, including veterans Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, and third-round pick Malachi Fields.
