In this week’s NFL Blue Book radio roundup, Charles Robinson breaks down the fallout from Sam LaPorta’s situation, Jordan Elliott’s firearm incident, and Jonathan Taylor’s impact on the Browns. He joins Robby & Rexrode in Nashville to discuss multiple league‑wide stories, then heads to Cleveland with Baskin and Phelps to evaluate the jittery 2027 quarterback class amid a turbulent college season. The episode offers the latest on these hot topics and their implications for upcoming games.
The 49ers face a rash of injuries ahead of their Week 7 clash with the Falcons. Edge rusher Nick Bosa, who missed all of practice after a sore workout, is ruled out, leaving the defense shorthanded. Wide receiver Mike Evans also sits out, marking the first game of the season without the star. The team released defensive tackle Ogbo Okoronkgo and may re‑sign him to the practice squad. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirms the injury list, noting only a few players—like Kurtis Rourke and possibly Enrique Cruz—remain as emergency options. In the meantime, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak looks to Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing and newcomer Christian Kirk to fill the gaps as the 49ers head into a limited‑roster game.

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 NFL’s nine‑game overseas schedule continues with matchups in Madrid (Nov. 8), Munich (Nov. 15) and Mexico City (Nov. 22), setting the stage for a potential Tokyo game in the near future.
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). 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.

The 49ers release defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Falcons. Here's a look at his stats and NFL career.
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.
The 49ers are preparing for the possibility of Mike Evans missing Week 7 against the Falcons. Find out which receivers could step up for Brock Purdy.
Over the last couple of years, the San Francisco 49ers have been connected to quite a few rumors surrounding quarterback Mac Jones. Last season, Jones stepped in for Brock Purdy when the starter went down with injury early in the year. Jones performed admirably, proving that he was still capable of being a starting NFL […]

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.
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.
49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris discusses Michael Penix Jr.'s potential and explains why Falcons star Bijan Robinson poses a major challenge.
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.
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. The article breaks down team stats, recent roster moves, and coaching tweaks that could tip the game in Atlanta’s favor.

The 49ers face three major threats against the Falcons in Week 7. Find out why Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Gervon Dexter Sr. could pose problems.
Extending Keion White seems logical, given how well he's played for the 49ers this season. But that's not how the Niners have done business, historically.
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.
The 49ers are 6-0, but can they afford to rest Mike Evans and Nick Bosa against the Falcons? Here's why balancing health and playoff seeding matters.
With star receiver Mike Evans sidelined, the 49ers’ passing game shifts focus to second‑year wideout Jordan Watkins. After logging the most snaps (47) but only one target in the recent win, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak praises Watkins’ route running and says the ball will find him as the team leans on him and other backs like Brandin Cooks and Christian Kirk. 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.
