DeAndre Hopkins News
Saturday, August 1, 6:13 AM
One day after officially joining the Georgia Tech coaching staff as the assistant receivers coach, veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins posted on X that he has not retired from the NFL. He followed that up by writing, "If you're a WR and you want to be great, come to Georgia Tech," so it does not appear that the 34-year-old has had a sudden change of heart or has any plans to pursue a 14th professional season. While Hopkins ' Hall of Fame eligibility will not open until he has officially retired, he has a strong case for enshrinement, having made more than 1,000 receptions for 13,295 yards and 85 touchdowns while earning five All-Pro selections.

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.
