San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle will likely miss Week 6. His return from a hamstring injury is now a long shot for the upcoming game. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Week 7 against Atlanta is a more realistic target.

The Atlanta Falcons have had some highs and lows through the first quarter of the season, and therefore, it's only appropriate that they're 2-2 after four games. The team has put together some impressive stretches on both offense and defense, however, Atlanta has lacked the consistency from week to week.

Since sustaining the injury during the first week of the NFL season, Kittle has been placed on injured reserve.

The Falcons have seen a tremendous year-over-year improvement from their defense, but their post-bye week showdown with the Bills will be its biggest test yet.

The Falcons' next two opponents after their bye are the first-ranked Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers, who sit at No. 8 in Pro Football Focus' Week 5 power rankings. If Atlanta can manage a win against either of those teams, its a strong indication as to where the team is currently.
