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.

Jalen Tolbert News
Monday, July 27, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has a real chance to earn snaps, but he still has to separate from one of the league's least settled receiver rooms. His final season in Dallas ended with 18 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown across 13 games. The better case comes from 2024, when Tolbert posted 49 receptions for 610 yards and seven scores. Miami gave him regular work throughout minicamp. He produced a gain of at least 15 yards on the opening day, caught intermediate throws during the second practice, and found the end zone on Day 3. Malik Washington and Tutu Atwell were involved as well, while rookies Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. give the Dolphins several other options. The move to Malik Willis also leaves this passing game with plenty to prove. RotoBaller ranks Tolbert WR89 in PPR leagues. He is worth monitoring in deeper formats because the depth chart is open, but standard-league managers can wait until training camp reveals whether his spring involvement turns into a real role.
