Pitts (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After sitting out last week's loss to the Buccaneers, Pitts returned to practice as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday to take the designation into the weekend. The tight end previously expressed optimism that he'll play, and while the expectation is that he will, confirmation one way or the other won't arrive until the Falcons release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
