The Facts: Kirk suffered a core muscle injury on his catch last night and is expected to need surgery.

Diehards Line: Rehab for a core muscle issue is generally about eight weeks. If Kirk is ready at eight weeks, he could play in the Super Bowl if Jax makes it. A little earlier puts him in the AFC Title game — if Jax makes that. In the meantime, those invested in Kirk in season-long formats can move on. Zay Jones is a viable option while rookie Parker Washington a desperation play.
