Commissioner Roger Goodell tells NFL Daily that Tokyo is the league’s next international stop, following a historic slate that included games in Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London and an upcoming showdown in Paris between the Steelers and Saints. Goodell stresses the importance of coordinated media, sponsorship and TV rights to drive global reach, citing the 100,000‑fan crowd in Australia as proof the model works.

The 49ers could be without Mike Evans and Nick Bosa against the Falcons after both missed Friday's practice. Here's the latest on San Francisco's injuries.
The Falcons announce running back Brian Robinson Jr. is out with a hamstring injury, forcing him to miss his first game of the season against the 6-0 San Francisco 49ers. Backup Khalil Herbert, a recent practice‑squad elevation, will step in as the No. 2 RB, while star Bijan Robinson shoulders a heavier workload. Robinson currently boasts 111 carries for 641 yards and four touchdowns, but was limited to nine carries in the 31‑23 loss to Chicago. Atlanta (2‑4) also deals with multiple defensive absences. The increased volume could boost Bijan’s production against a 49ers defense that has struggled against the run.
The Falcons rule out four players for Sunday’s clash with the 49ers: CB Billy Bowman (hamstring), LB Divine Deablo (forearm), OL Michael Jerrell (biceps) and RB Brian Robinson (hamstring).

With Robinson sidelined, Atlanta promotes Khalil Herbert as the backup RB, maintaining Bijan Robinson as the primary back. The 49ers still list key absentees, including DE Nick Bosa (knee, calf) and WR Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles), though their full Friday practice report is pending.
