The Falcons will have their starting right tackle and an offensive contributor for Sunday Night Football against the 49ers.

Mooney has seven receptions for 79 yards in three games so far this year.

On the other side, Mac Jones will make another start for the 49ers with Brock Purdy still sidelined by a toe injury. Juan Jennings is also active despite dealing with multiple injuries.

Purdy, receiver Ricky Pearsall, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, running back Jordan James, offensive lineman Drew Moss, cornerback Upton Stout, and receiver Jordan Watkins are inactive for the 49ers.

For the Falcons, outside linebacker Jalon Walker, cornerback Billy Bowman, receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, offensive tackle Jack Nelson, and defensive tackle LaCale London are inactive.
