Christian Kirk News
Sunday, July 26, 6:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk (undisclosed) exited the team's training camp practice on Sunday due to an undisclosed injury, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Kirk is entering his first year in San Francisco after recording 28 catches for 239 yards and one touchdown on 52 targets across 13 games with the Houston Texans in 2025. Entering training camp, Kirk is likely atop the 49ers' depth chart at slot receiver. However, injuries have been a major problem for the 29-year-old in recent years, as he's missed 18 games over the last three seasons. While the extent of Kirk's current ailment is unclear, it's not a great sign that he's already battling health injuries this early in the summer. If Kirk is unable to establish himself as a key piece in San Francisco, it could open up more opportunities early on for rookie wideout De'Zhaun Stribling.

Malik Nabers News
Friday, July 24, 8:07 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) avoided landing on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of training camp this summer, but the expectation is that the Giants will "bring him along slowly," according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The 22-year-old former first-rounder might not be practicing at all right away while he continues to recover from a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 4 of last season. The Giants still have seven weeks to go until their 2026 regular-season opener on Sunday Night Football against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. "Working his way into practice as camp gets started one way or the other," head coach John Harbaugh said recently. "To what degree, we will find out. But there is a lot of optimism around [Nabers and Skattebo]." Nabers caught a rookie franchise-record 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024 and had 18 receptions for 271 yards and two TDs before his season-ending injury in Week 4. He has clear WR1 upside, but the uncertainty about whether he'll be full speed for Week 1 has made him more of a low-end WR2 target as he enters his third year in the NFL.
