Christian Kirk Misses Wednesday's Practice
Christian Kirk (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first official practice of the year on Wednesday. It's unclear if Kirk's absence to begin the week was more maintenance related or if his hamstring injury will put him in jeopardy of suiting up for Week 1 on Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams. We should have a better idea on his availability for the season opener later this week, but this certainly isn't what fantasy managers want to see heading into Week 1 after the 28-year-old played in only eight games in 2024 in his final season in Jacksonville due to a broken collarbone. If Kirk's injury is nothing serious and he's active on Sunday, he should be considered more of a WR4/flex play in fantasy out of the slot against a dangerous Rams defense. If he's unable to play, rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel could immediately become interesting.
