49ers activated Christian Kirk (calf) from injured reserve.

25 October 2026

The 49ers would normally have Kirk on a pitch count for his first game of the year. With their top four receivers unavailable for today’s game, Kirk may be thrust into a full-time role right away. He will be in the mix for WR1 duties in San Francisco alongside Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins. Kirk is a long-shot FLEX option for his first game as a 49er.
