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.
Give Me More: Bijan Robinson To See Huge Workload: Brian Robinson Out
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.

Injuries also keep several others questionable, while corners A.J. Terrell and C.J. Henderson return to the lineup. 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. These injury updates set the tone for the upcoming game on October 24.

One player to steal from the Falcons for the 49ers
The 49ers head to Atlanta with a shaky receiver corps, likely missing Mike Evans and eyeing Christian Kirk, Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins or Jacob Cowing. In a hypothetical trade scenario, the blog suggests stealing WR Drake London to pair his huge catch radius with Evans, creating a nightmare for defenses, and defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., whose 13.1% pressure rate ranks second league‑wide, to bolster an already improved interior line. The piece invites fans to weigh in on these fantasy picks.

Seahawks vs. Chiefs game preview: How can Seattle turn its season around?
The Seahawks head to primetime Sunday at Lumen Field to face the Kansas City Chiefs, a must‑win for a 3‑3 Seattle squad still reeling from defeats to Washington and Denver. The biggest test is containing former Seahawk Kenneth Walker III, who ranks among the league’s top rushers with 665 yards and six touchdowns in five games, ending Seattle’s 35‑game streak of holding backs under 100 yards. Add to that the potential return of Zach Charbonnet and the need to discipline the defense against Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and a depleted Chiefs receiving corps. A disciplined front seven could keep the game close and spark a needed momentum shift.
Does Raheem Morris give the 49ers a significant edge over the Falcons offense?
Week 7 pits the struggling Falcons against an unbeaten 49ers squad led by defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, who returns to his former team seeking revenge. Morris knows Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s tendencies, but the article argues that Penix’s strengths and weaknesses are already widely studied league‑wide. While San Francisco’s defense is elite, its blitz rate sits at a middling 27.4% and could rise if star edge rusher Nick Bosa misses the game. The piece questions whether Morris’s insider knowledge truly gives the 49ers a unique edge or simply mirrors standard defensive game plans against the Falcons’ offense.

3 areas where the 49ers must capitalize against the Falcons
The 6‑0 San Francisco 49ers head to Atlanta for Week 7, aiming to stretch their streak to seven while the 2‑4 Falcons look to rebound. Atlanta’s offense gifts the Niners three exploitable numbers: a league‑high 2.0 turnovers per game (fifth overall), 29.5 rush attempts per game (fifth), and a turnover‑poor defense that forces a change on just 7.2% of drives (fourth‑lowest). With Bijan Robinson leading a top‑four rushing attack and the 49ers’ run defense allowing only 90.2 yards per game, San Francisco can press the advantage on both sides of the ball.
What to know about Falcons – 49ers in Week 7
The Falcons (2-4) face a daunting Week 7 home showdown against unbeaten 49ers (6-0) at Levi's Stadium. San Francisco, despite key injuries like Mike Evans, rides Brock Purdy’s poise under pressure—he’s 2nd in the league with a 54.3% completion rate when pressured and hasn’t thrown an interception in those situations. Atlanta’s chances hinge on pressuring Purdy and capitalizing on the 49ers’ depleted receiving corps, with Michael Evans likely out and the likes of Christian Kirk, Brandin Cooks, and Jacob Cowing stepping up.

Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing set for golden opportunity they might not get again
With Mike Evans sidelined by an Achilles flare before the 49ers’ Week 7 clash against Atlanta, San Francisco’s thin receiver corps gives rookie Jordan Watkins and fellow fourth‑round pick Jacob Cowing a rare chance to earn more snaps. Both have recorded just five catches each (Watkins 108 yards, Cowing 89 yards) after injuries stalled their progress, but Watkins has already seen 45% of offensive snaps and shown strong run‑blocking. If Evans misses the game, the Falcons matchup could be a pivotal moment for the two to prove their value before the depth chart reshuffles later in the season.

Watkins, who posted three catches for 26 yards as a rookie, is poised for a larger role in Week 7 as Brock Purdy looks for reliable targets.

Adam Peters says Jayden Daniels won’t make same mistake again
Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters says quarterback Jayden Daniels will learn from his 4th‑down fumble against the 49ers, emphasizing that the mistake won’t happen again.
