ATLANTA - Niners quarterback Christian Ponder is a snap away from playing in his first regular-season game since 2014. Blaine Gabbert, who started the first five games before he was supplanted by Colin Kaepernick, is inactive for today's game against the Falcons. Ponder hasn't played in a regular-season game since Oct. 2, 2014, when he was with the Vikings. Ponder, the No. 12 pick in 2011, said recently he thinks he's cleared some mental hurdles that held him back earlier in his career. [...] left tackle Joe Staley (hamstring) will miss his second straight game and left guard Zane Beadles will assume his spot. The 49ers' other inactives are WR Torrey Smith (concussion), RB Mike Davis, DT Tony Jerod-Eddie and C Josh Allen.
