The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> enter Sunday\u2019s Week 7 contest against the Atlanta Falcons with a 6-0 record.<\/p>\n San Francisco remains one of just three unbeaten teams in the NFL<\/a>, but they\u2019ll face a hungry Atlanta team looking to snap its losing streak and improve its 2-4 record.<\/p>\n 49ers Make Nick Bosa Announcement<\/p>\n One of the notable injuries the 49ers are dealing with is pass rusher Nick Bosa, who\u2019s been out since tweaking his calf in Week 3.<\/p>\n Two weeks ago, Bosa said he was \u201coptimistic\u201d that he would be able to take the field against the Washington Commanders<\/a>. That game took place Monday night, but Bosa did not play.<\/p>\n His status won\u2019t change for Sunday, either, as 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has officially ruled him out against the Falcons.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think he was a bit too optimistic especially for Bosa cause he\u2019s pretty accurate, he doesn\u2019t say stuff like that unless it\u2019s accurate and I just think it surprised him,\u201d Shanahan said Friday after practice.<\/a> \u201cHe worked out after he said that to you guys, and the next day he was sore, which surprised all of us, and that was not a great sign especially playing on turf, I just think he was too optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n #49ers Kyle Shanahan was asked about Nick Bosa telling reporters he was optimistic about playing against Washington and why he\u2019s still out:<\/p>\n \u201cI just think he was a bit too optimistic especially for Bosa cause he\u2019s pretty accurate, he doesn\u2019t say stuff like that unless it\u2019s accurate and I just think it surprised him.<\/p>\n He worked out after he said that to you guys, and the next day he was sore, which surprised all of us, and that was not a great sign especially playing on turf, I just think he was too optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 OurSF49ers (@OurSf49ers) October 23, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Other Notable 49ers Injuries<\/p>\n Bosa won\u2019t be the only 49ers star sidelined, as Shanahan also announced that veteran wide receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel will miss Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n Linebackers Garret Wallow and Luke Gifford, along with safety Marques Sigle, will also miss the game.<\/p>\n The 49ers do have some positive injury news, though. The team expects to activate veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk, who signed with San Francisco this offseason and has spent the season on injured reserve. Kirk will make his season debut Sunday, giving the 49ers another option at receiver with Evans set to miss his first game of the year.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tCole Sullivan<\/a> Cole Sullivan is a sports journalist for Heavy.com covering the NFL, NBA, college football, and college basketball.
