Kirk cleared for debut; slot role awaits in healthy receiver room.

Kirk practiced in full on Wednesday and appears set to make his debut. He is expected to line up in the slot, where he will compete for targets in an offense with significant target distribution to Evans (23.5%), Kittle (21.7%), and McCaffrey (21.1%). The source argues Kirk's return, along with Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel coming back from the bye week, will make the receiver room close to healthy and eliminate the need for a trade acquisition.
