Dre Kirkpatrick News
The San Francisco 49ers waived cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team could open linebacker Dre Greenlaw's (groin) 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve. After signing with San Francisco on Sept. 14 and playing in six games (one start), Kirkpatrick managed six tackles. The 32-year-old miss the dominant win over the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Monday night with an ankle injury. With Kirkpatrick inactive in Week 10, the 49ers had both rookie cornerbacks Ambry Thomas and Deommodore Lenoir active.
The San Francisco 49ers are finalizing a deal for veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick on Monday, according to a source. Kirkpatrick will provide some starting experience following another season-ending injury to cornerback Jason Verrett in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. Kirkpatrick most recently played for the Arizona Cardinals in 2020, racking up 56 tackles (53 solo), three interceptions and seven passes defensed in 14 games (11 starts), so the 31-year-old could see a significant role for the 49ers eventually. The 49ers defense as a whole should still be considered a strong weekly starting unit in fantasy heading into a Week 2 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Free-agent cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is working out for the Houston Texans on Friday, according to a source. The former Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals starter has also visited with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots in the offseason. The Texans could use more cornerback depth after recently trading Bradley Roby. The 31-year-old former first-round pick in 2012 played in 14 games (11 starts) for the Cardinals last year and had 56 tackles (53 solo), three interceptions and seven passes defensed. Kirkpatrick can provide some valuable veteran insurance for the Texans secondary, but their defensive unit as a whole should be off the fantasy radar in what figures to be a tough season.
