Yes, the situation is that fluid.

“It’s this week”, he said.
Thomas, whose agent C. Lamont Smith first tweeted his client was Bay Area-bound, posted a photo on his Twitter account with a red No. 32 jersey from team headquarters and said: “I am excited for this opportunity (and) want to thank the @49ers org for bringing me on board”. He was quick to defend Kaepernick, saying that the team’s 2-6 start is not all on the quarterback. “This was just a decision that I wanted Colin to step back and breathe and look at things through a different lens”. “So I’m excited to see him work”. In eight games, Kaepernick has thrown for just six touchdowns against five interceptions.
Tomsula elaborated on the positive aspects such a move can generate for a struggling starting quarterback.
“We were really pleased with Jalen Collins”, Quinn said. It’s just me, what I’m watching, what I’m feeling. But he said he feels more prepared for the challenge than he did as the starter for the Jaguars.
“Whoever they play, their system isn’t going to change”.
SERIES HISTORY: 76th regular-season meeting. According to an earlier report by ESPN, San Francisco will save the team about $9 million with the only problem is the $61 million guaranteed money for the player’s injury protection. That was the clubs’ first meeting since their matchup in the 2012 NFC Championship Game, which was won by the 49ers 28-24 in Atlanta. The Bill Walsh/Joe Montana Era of the 49ers was a cruel time for Falcons fans.
San Francisco ended up placing running back Jarryd Hayne on the practice squad and promoting running back Kendall Gaskins.
Blaine Gabbert has been in this position before.
Gabbert will get what the 49ers regard as a relatively easy defense in his debut, against the Falcons.
While Julio Jones is quite possibly the most dominant receiver in the National Football League, Matt Ryan has developed a bit of the Matthew Stafford syndrome from a couple of seasons ago.
One of the most popular subjects of mocking memes in the National Football League is Colin Kaepernick, and the latest one making fun of his inability to find open players, coming next to all the rumors about the San Francisco 49ers benching him, is probably the cruelest of them all. Facing the Falcons isn’t the ideal way to be judged.
Now Gabbert will take over the NFL’s worst offense for the last-place 49ers, although for how long remains to be seen.
Is getting another look at Kaepernick worth the risk of potentially paying almost $12 million in 2016 to a quarterback who likely isn’t in their plans?
Sure, the Falcons passing defense hasn’t been all that great, but the Falcons have shut down Zach Mettenberger and Jameis Winston as far as yards go. The Falcons are 4-1 when he scores at least once.

Of course, if given the chance, the 49ers would rather wait until they’re at home and playing the weakest defense they have during the course of five weeks. Aside from a win over the pitiful Baltimore Ravens and a decent outing in the loss to the New York Giants, Kaepernick hasn’t been good.
