The Atlanta Falcons head into Week 7 at 2‑4, hosting undefeated San Francisco (6‑0), but a cascade of injuries threatens their climb toward .500.

Terrell Jr. remains questionable after a groin strain landed him on IR in Week 2, while fellow DBs C.J. Henderson and Billy Bowman Jr. battle groin and hamstring issues, respectively. Avieon Terrell is a questionable back injury, and Bowman is ruled out. Running back Brian Robinson Jr., linebacker Divine Deablo and tackle Michael Jerrell are also sidelined.

The Atlanta Hawks dominate the Charlotte Hornets 128‑81 on Oct. 23, 2026, showcasing a suffocating defense that held Charlotte to just 19 points in the third quarter. Jalen Johnson leads with 19 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, while Aaron Wiggins matches his 19‑point night and Dyson Daniels adds 11 points and nine rebounds. Bench contributors Zuby Ejiofor and Kingston Fleming each hit their first career three‑pointers.

The victory follows both teams’ season‑opening wins and highlights Atlanta’s depth and defensive intensity.
The Atlanta Falcons, sitting 2‑4, face an undefeated San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. While the 49ers remain a top‑10 offense and defense, they’re missing key weapons—Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel—due to injury, leaving their passing game vulnerable. The Falcons also battle injuries, especially on the defensive line and secondary, but could enjoy a health edge if most questionables play. With the 49ers coming off a Monday night loss and the Falcons enjoying extra rest, the matchup is a slim 2.5‑point home underdog for Atlanta. The author predicts a 49ers win but notes the Falcons’ potential to pull off an upset.

The 49ers face the Falcons in Week 7 with veteran WR Mike Evans ruled out and Christian Kirk listed as questionable.

Kirk’s route‑running and past 1,000‑yard season make him a key spark for San Francisco’s passing attack against Atlanta.

After a 35‑point loss to Atlanta, the Green Bay Packers’ defense rebounds, allowing just 34 points over the next three games thanks to coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s shifting schemes. Against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, Gannon’s ever‑changing pre‑snap looks confused Dak Prescott, leading to three interceptions, including a pivotal pick by weak‑side safety Evan Williams that halted a Cowboys red‑zone drive early in the second quarter. The article breaks down the disguise tactics—rotating from cover‑0 to single‑high blitzes—and shows how the Packers’ deceptive alignments rattled the quarterback and stifled Dallas’s offense.

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 piece invites fans to weigh in on these fantasy picks.
