49ers activate Demarcus Robinson and elevate KhaDarel Hodge ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Per Niners Nation, a fan blog, Christian Kirk was placed on injured reserve with a meniscus injury and was already ruled out after hurting his knee in practice. Robinson has been out since hurting his ankle the week after San Francisco's Week 1 win over the Rams, and he is no longer listed as questionable. San Francisco is 6-1 and Las Vegas is 4-4 for the 4:25 PM ET game.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.

Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
