Who Should I Start? Deandre Carter or Keith Kirkwood

Sunday, December 8, 5:07 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DeAndre Carter (hamstring) isn't expected to return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers. The wideout isn't a routine option for Caleb Williams. However, his likely absence will be felt on special teams. With wide receiver Tyler Scott inactive, the team may turn to cornerback Josh Blackwell to handle return duties for the remainder of Week 14.

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed veteran wide receiver Keith Kirkwood to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to the league's personnel notice. Kirkwood spent the entire 2024 season on Baltimore's practice squad and will now return to workout with the team this offseason and through training camp this summer. The 30-year-old pass-catcher made his NFL debut in 2018 with the New Orleans Saints and spent two years in the Big Easy before playing two seasons with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and 2021. He then returned to New Orleans in 2022 and 2023. Kirkwood's best season was his rookie year, when he caught 13 of 21 targets for 209 yards and two touchdowns. He has accumulated only 24 receptions for 294 yards and three touchdowns on 43 targets in his six seasons in the NFL.
