Ron Stewart on Christian Kirk

VideoThe Week 7 Waiver Wire is Sneaky GoatedOctober 20, 2026

From the video

Christian Kirk, he's working his way back off of IR. All of the 49ers wide receivers are hurt. Christian Kirk, I believe, has more juice than Brandon Cooks and could find himself in a starting role sooner than later.
