The San Francisco 49ers' roster has sustained an onslaught of injuries again this season, but the team made a move this week to help fortify one of their most maligned units this season after trading for defensive end Keion White. This might not be the only move for the San Francisco 49ers to make ahead of the trade deadline, as they have also been linked to Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals. Whoever is on the field on Sunday for the team will need to step up and improve after last week's loss.

With the offense only on the field for 18 minutes today, the San Francisco 49ers offense couldn't keep pace.

The San Francisco 49ers got back to basics today as they found a ton of success pounding the rock between the tackles with Christian McCaffrey against the Atlanta Falcons in a 20-10 victory on Sunday Night Football. Christian McCaffrey posted his first game with over 100 rushing yards in the 2025 season and even added two touchdowns as well. Meanwhile, many young players have been thrust into action due to the never-ending parade of injuries, but the team has not missed a step. Tatum Bethune was the latest to step up, as he made a monster impact on this game with 10 tackles while filling in for Fred Warner.

What the 49ers MUST do to defeat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. No Fred Warner or Nick Bosa, but George Kittle returns! Notes on Mac Jones, Brock Purdy, injury report, key matchups and MORE.

The San Francisco 49ers finally got some good injury news this week as George Kittle looks to be on track to return for week seven's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This would be a massive boost for the San Francisco 49ers, not only in the pass game, but it should also provide a lift for the much-maligned rushing attack, too. Christian McCaffrey has yet to log a game this season with more than 4.0 yards per rush attempt, and the outside rushing lanes have been essentially nonexistent without George Kittle. Hopefully, his return can change that.
