Christian Kirk out Week 1 with hamstring injury One-to-two-week injury By: Mike Krueger | Sep 4 2025, 4:17 pm
Texans WR Christian Kirk has a strained hamstring that is expected to sideline him for at least Sunday’s opener vs. the Rams and possibly longer, per sources. One source estimated it to be a two-week injury for Kirk, but the Texans will be “cautious” with him. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take:Kirk was projected to be the starting slot receiver for the Texans but that role will likely be spread between Xavier Hutchinson and rookie Jaylin Noel with Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins working on the outside. It's looking like a one or two-week injury for Kirk.
