Texans WRs Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) are off the final Week 9 injury report. Neither guy should be limited in Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. Collins catches a break with All-Pro CB Pat Surtain out with a pectoral injury, although Denver’s secondary still boasts plenty of talent. Kirk has operated as Houston’s primary slot receiver when healthy this season but could lose some snaps to rookie WR Jaylin Noel going forward. Try to keep Kirk out of Week 9 fantasy lineups.

Texans WR Nico Collins sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Seahawks. It's his first documented concussion. But with just six days to clear protocol, Collins is unlikely to play vs. the 49ers on Sunday. His absence would leave Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson as Houston's top three WRs, assuming Christian Kirk doesn't make it back from his latest hamstring injury. Higgins and Noel are worth speculative stashes, but they'd be tough to trust in Week 8 fantasy lineups with Houston's offense continuing to struggle.

Texans WR Christian Kirk was added to the injury report on Friday with a hamstring and limited in practice. Kirk missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury, although it's unclear if this is related. Regardless, Kirk's availability for Monday night's game vs. the Seahawks is now in serious doubt. We'll see if he practices on Saturday and then how he's listed on the final injury report.

Texans WR Christian Kirk drew the second-most targets in his Week 3 debut for the team. Those eight looks trailed only WR Nico Collins. Kirk managed just 3 receptions for 25 yards, though, in an ugly loss to the Jaguars. The veteran missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. He opened this week with a pair of limited practices but graduated to full participation Friday and carried no injury designation into the game.

Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. Kirk might immediately step in as Houston’s No. 2 WR against the Jaguars this weekend, but we wouldn’t trust him in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut.

Texans HC Demeco Ryans said Tuesday that WRs Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios are "progressing very well" and are expected back for this weekend's game against the Jaguars. Both guys have missed the first two games of the season with hamstring injuries. Kirk was in line to open the year as Houston's No. 2 WR and will probably take over that spot soon considering the team has been slow-playing rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Kirk is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, although we wouldn't want to trust him in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's the first we've heard of a hamstring injury for him, but his Week 1 status is now up in the air. Kirk was set to operate as Houston's No. 2 WR at least early in the season. His absence would free up opportunities for rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. We'll update Kirk's status again on Thursday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Jaguars plan to release WR Christian Kirk when the new league year begins next week. Kirk spent the past three years in Jacksonville after arriving as a free agent from Arizona. He finished WR12 in total PPR points in 2022 but then lost 14 games to injuries over the past two seasons. The Jaguars planned to trade Kirk to the Steelers last year before the wideout suffered a broken collarbone in Week 8. His release will reportedly save Jacksonville "over $10.4 million" in cap space.

ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler believes there’s a 75% chance the Jaguars cut WR Christian Kirk. Fowler adds that Kirk’s contract is “reasonable enough that the Jaguars might be able to get something for him in a trade if he’s healthy.” The former Cardinal missed most of 2024 with a collarbone injury. Now, the Jags are ushering in a new HC and GM. Kirk ultimately isn’t someone we’d target in early best ball drafts.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game vs. the Packers and was quickly ruled out. We'll update you on his injury when we know more.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk is feeling good and will practice this week, HC Doug Pederson said Monday, per Sports Illustrated's John Shipley. Kirk missed about a week-and-a-half with a minor calf injury.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk will not practice this week due to a calf injury, HC Doug Pederson said Monday. Kirk missed the final few practices of last week with what Pederson at that point called a "minor" injury. Pederson again expressed optimism today, saying that Kirk is "feeling good."

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Jaguars plan to activate WR Christian Kirk from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Kirk has been out a month following core-muscle surgery. He's questionable for the game and considered a game-time decision. We'd guess that if Kirk is active, he should be ready for something close to his normal role. Of course, we can all only guess at that, barring further reports of his expected use. The month off plus QB Trevor Lawrence's right-shoulder injury compound the risk for Kirk as a fantasy play. He's interesting as a DFS flier -- because of extremely cheap salaries on both DraftKings and FanDuel -- but you'll have to consider the risk-reward of playing Kirk in season-long formats.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans after a limited week of practice. He’s been out since early-December core-muscle surgery. We’ll see whether Jacksonville activates Kirk on Saturday afternoon. If he plays, he’d be a risk/reward fantasy start coming off the groin injury and with QB Trevor Lawrence set to play through his throwing-shoulder injury.

Jaguars WRs Christian Kirk (groin) and Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) were limited in Wednesday's practice. Kirk was just designated to return from IR after early-December core-muscle surgery; Jones missed last week's game with his injuries. We'll keep tabs on these two leading up to Sunday's must-win game vs. the Titans.

The Jaguars placed WR Christian Kirk (groin) on IR. That knocks him out for at least the next four games, meaning he can be safely dropped from all redraft rosters. Kirk would have a chance to return if Jacksonville makes a run in the playoffs. And his 2024 offseason shouldn't be impacted by this injury. He's signed with the Jaguars for two more seasons, although he'll likely need to restructure his current contract to bring down the $24.4 million 2024 cap hit. Kirk ranked 24th among WRs in PPR points through 12 healthy weeks this year.
