Falcons head coach Raheem Morris gives update on Jake Matthews
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said left tackle Jake Matthews is day-to-day with an ankle injury: "We know who he is. We know that he doesn't miss something. We'll just have to see. But I feel really positive about him and what happened based on not having any idea last night."
We'll have to wait until Sunday to find out if Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews will extend his streak of consecutive starts to 184 games. Matthews hurt
While the 49ers have dealt with as many key injuries as any team in the league, the Falcons have been relatively healthy so far this year. Atlanta did lose starting right tackle Kaleb McGary for the season back in August, but this team should otherwise be close to full strength for tonight's game.
McKivitz has been a slightly above-average tackle in the NFL, which is why the 49ers decided to pay him, because that is hard to find. However, that means he comes with his flaws; it typically comes in pass protection as speed rushers who can get lower than him and beat him around the edge.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray Ray McCloud has been sent home due to a private matter, with the team looking to "straighten things out."
The Falcons picked up a big win over the Bills on Monday Night Football. However, QB Michael Penix Jr. could have suffered an injury.
