The Atlanta Falcons are banged up ahead of today’s game with the San Francisco 49ers. Among the inactives are cornerback Robert Alford, linebacker Justin Durant and wide receiver Leonard Hankerson. All four were ruled out after Friday’s practice.
Alford and Moore being out hurts the secondary, and Desmond Trufant will be playing at less than 100 percent. Hankerson misses his second straight with a hamstring injury in what is becoming an injury-plagued season for the free agent acquisition.
Falcons inactives: CB Robert Alford, LB Justin Durant, WR Leonard Hankerson, S William Moore, DE Malliciah Goodman, LS Josh Harris
49ers inactives: RB Mike Davis, RB Carlos Hyde, CB Kenneth Acker, CB Tramaine Brock, WR Anquan Boldin, OG Ian Silberman, G Brandon Thomas
For San Francisco, the loss of running back Carlos Hyde will hurt them.
