The Atlanta Falcons are officially treating their Week 7 injury report like a CVS receipt. ESPN's Marc Raimondi reported Friday that defensive back Billy Bowman, linebacker Divine Deablo, offensive tackle Michael Jerrell, and running back Brian Robinson Jr. are all officially out for Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Losing one starter is a hurdle. Losing four guys across three different position groups is the kind of roster math that makes a coaching staff stare blankly into the middle distance during a film session.
"Marc Raimondi reported on X that Bowman, Deablo, Jerrell, and Robinson Jr. are all OUT for Week 7."
The biggest fantasy and betting shockwave here is Robinson. The bruising back has been a reliable engine for Atlanta's ground game, racking up 211 rushing yards and four touchdowns so far in 2026. Anyone holding a ticket on his rushing props this weekend just got a brutal reality check, and the Falcons will now have to figure out how to move the chains without their primary battering ram.
On the other side of the ball, the defense is getting dangerously thin. Bowman is dealing with a hamstring issue that knocked him out of last week's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. This is just brutal luck for a guy who already had to fight his way onto the 53-man roster after battling an Achilles injury in August.
Add in Deablo's forearm injury, and the middle of the field is suddenly looking like an open runway for San Francisco's offense. Then there is Jerrell, sidelined with a bicep injury. The big tackle was brought in to provide offensive line depth after starting three games for the Seattle Seahawks back in 2024, but now Atlanta is down another massive body in the trenches.
The Falcons are limping into a buzzsaw. Trying to slow down the 49ers is hard enough when your roster is fully operational. Doing it while missing your top running back and key defensive stoppers is the kind of challenge that sends the point spread moving in the wrong direction. Atlanta will need some practice-squad heroes to step up immediately, or Sunday afternoon is going to get ugly fast.
Key stats
Brian Robinson Jr. has recorded 211 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns in the 2026 season.
Billy Bowman previously battled an Achilles injury in August before suffering this hamstring issue.
Michael Jerrell started 3 games for the Seattle Seahawks in 2024.
What's next
The Falcons will have to dig deep into their depth chart to stay competitive against the 49ers, while bettors and fantasy managers must pivot away from Robinson's usual production.
