In the upcoming 49ers‑Falcons clash on Oct. 25, San Francisco deals a first‑season blow by sitting Mike Evans, drafting Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins to the outside and likely slotting Christian Kirk with Jacob Cowing as a backup. The article recalls last season’s meeting, where Christian McCaffrey rushed for 129 yards and caught seven passes, while George Kittle was ignored. With the 49ers having scored just 20 points then, the preview predicts a high‑scoring game and trusts Brock Purdy and coach Kyle Shanahan to put up points against Atlanta’s defense.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr lauds rookie Yaxel Lendeborg’s offensive versatility but bluntly calls out his poor weak‑side defensive awareness.

The coach urges the 2026 freshman to improve positioning and recognition away from the ball, saying extra reps and film study will be key. Kerr remains confident Lendeborg can contribute now if he sharpens his defensive instincts.
