The Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers are each dealing with their share of injuries ahead of Sunday's showdown at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Falcons listed 14 players with game designations on their final Week 7 injury report.
Four players, including linebacker Divine Deablo and cornerback Billy Bowman Jr., have been ruled out against the 49ers, while 10 players were listed as questionable. Linebacker Kendal Daniels is good to go, though, and the Falcons will need him to take over the green dot on defense for Deablo.
Daniels will be joined by fellow rookie Harold Perkins at linebacker, who has played well in a backup role thus far. However, the Falcons secondary looks to be in especially rough shape.
Cornerbacks A.J. Terrell, Avieon Terrell and
C.J. Henderson are questionable for Sunday's game, however, defensive coordinator is hopeful that a few of these guys will play. The elder Terrell is still technically on the injured reserve list, but he was designated to return on Wednesday and practiced all three days this week.
Last but not least, running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out. Since Robinson is listed as the team's starting kick returner, wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has replaced him in the lineup.
