We are back, as the Atlanta Falcons had a great game against the Buffalo Bills this past Monday, they now turn their sights to a Sunday night matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The Falcons did have
some injuries worth monitoring, so let’s take a look at where everyone is at as of Thursday.

Looking at the Falcons first, there are certainly some things to keep an eye on heading into Friday’s practice. Rookie EDGE rusher Jalon Walker is currently sidelined as he deals with a groin injury. Walker was also unable to practice on Wednesday, so unless he’s a full participant on Friday, it looks like he may be out this week. We will see. Left tackle Jake Matthews is also missing practice, as he is designated as day-to-day. Obviously, you want him out there when he feels healthy enough to play, but also Matthews has a record going currently of 180 consecutive starts, which is also the longest active streak in the NFL.
The 49ers have a very, very long injury report. Some key players to keep an eye on is receiver Ricky Pearsall, who has missed time with a knee injury; I personally don’t expect he will play. George Kittle, on the other hand, expects to. The quarterback position for the 49ers seems up in the air, as Brock Purdy is limited and could possibly return this week. Mac Jones has done a fine job in his place, but he’s practicing fully as he deals with knee and oblique injuries.
