49ers, Falcons and Sunday Night Football

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has averaged 9.1 yards per touch in his last two games and has produced 100 or more yards from scrimmage in every game this season. If he were to continue on his current pace, Robinson would finish with 2,794 yards from scrimmage, the most in NFL history. (The record holder, Chris Johnson, gained 2,509 in 2009.)
The SportsLine projection model has revealed its Atlanta vs. San Francisco picks for 'Sunday Night Football' in NFL Week 7
Atlanta brings momentum from two consecutive wins into a primetime showdown at Levi's Stadium, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Here's how to watch for free.
The 49ers have been decimated by injuries this season. San Francisco waived another tight end to make room on the roster for Kittle. It feels like the San Francisco 49ers are hit with the injury bug every NFL season — and this one is no different.
Purdy missed the 49ers' following two games, then returned for their Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. From the opening drive, it was clear that Purdy wasn't fit to play. His passes floated and were inaccurate, and his quickness was nonexistent. And in the process, he reinjured his toe. What a disaster.
Practice availability can sometimes serve as guidance, meaning the expectation is that Purdy will continue to practice ahead of Week 8. It's unknown how much will be enough to get the Niners starter back to game action. In the meantime, Jones continues to fill admirably for San Francisco, leading the team to a 3-1 record in four starts.
