For the first time since 2017, the Falcons are relevant in December. At 6-7, they still have a path to making the playoffs, even if they don’t always look like a playoff team. They can take a major step forward with a win in San Francisco on Sunday. Here’s where both teams stand going into this NFC matchup.
Health Updates
The Falcons have a mixed bag on the injury front. We already knew that safety Erik Harris would be out for the rest of the season with a pectoral injury. While he didn’t practice for most of the week, LB Dante Fowler did practice in a limited capacity on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for the game on Sunday with a calf injury.
