Christian Kirk was not targeted in the 49ers’ Week 7 loss to the Falcons.

25 October 2026

Kirk was activated off the injured list this week after missing the first six games of the season with a calf injury. He played on just 20 of the team’s 66 snaps and ran a route on 14 of their 43 dropbacks. Kirk was always likely to be eased back into things, and the 49ers have a bye next week to get him more up to speed. That being said, he doesn’t figure to be a huge part of this passing game if the 49ers can get more of their receivers back healthy after the bye.
