Christian Kirk's debut as a member of the Houston Texans will be delayed by at least a week. The veteran wideout is dealing with a strained hamstring that is expected to keep him sidelined for Houston's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Rams and possibly beyond that, according to ESPN .
