Christian Kirk News
Monday, July 27, 11:27 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk did not practice Monday because of a calf issue, according to Nick Wagoner. Matt Maiocco later reported that Kirk sustained a calf strain, but no timetable for his return has been announced. The 29-year-old signed a one-year contract with San Francisco in March after catching 28 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown across 13 games with the Houston Texans in 2025. Kirk is trying to establish a role in a reworked receiving corps that also includes Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and second-round rookie De'Zhaun Stribling, whom the 49ers selected 33rd overall. Any extended absence would cost Kirk valuable time in a new offense and could create additional camp opportunities for the team's other receivers. For now, the lack of a reported timetable makes Kirk's participation worth monitoring, but there is not enough information to determine how much time he will miss.

Hollywood Brown News
Monday, July 20, 10:28 AM
Across 16 games (six starts) with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, veteran wide receiver Hollywood Brown recorded 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets. Entering 2026, Brown is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. While Philadelphia lost a key pass-catcher by trading wideout A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, the team selected wide receiver Makai Lemon in the first round of the 2026 Draft and acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers. As a result, Hollywood is likely to start the upcoming season as the Eagles' WR4 behind Lemon, Wicks, and DeVonta Smith. While Brown was a productive player at earlier points in his career, he's now five years removed from his only 1,000-yard season. As an undersized wide receiver who relies on speed, it's fair to question how much Brown has left in the tank as he enters his age-29 campaign. In dynasty formats, managers should be looking to move on from Brown.
