11:49 pm
to sun, 70 on the board and then along the coast. it's a cloudy start to the day with partly cloudy skies. the afternoon and highs in the low 60s. so tomorrow. very similar to today. very comfortable temperatures. you'll enjoy a lot of sunshine in the afternoon, but by monday those temperatures really start to take off and tuesday gets even hotter around here. so the accuweather seven day forecast shows you enjoy tomorrow. get out. pleasant, comfortable weather. monday is much warmer. tuesday and wednesday is very hot around here. well above average stays warm thursday and heat relief comes our way by friday. >> oh yes. this is what we expect though for october. i know, but four days to take it easy out there. okay, good advice. well let's get to j.r. once again with another preview of sports. hi j.r. >> dion we are inching our way closer to niners. patriots tomorrow afternoon in santa clara. up next we'll break down the long list of minor injuries and tell you who is playing
11:53 pm
back. christian mccaffrey, back from germany, where he was getting treatment for his achilles tendinitis. still no word on when he'll be back on the field. good news is that tight end george kittle is more than likely to be back, but offensive tackle trent williams did not practice because of an injury and a toe injury. deebo samuel is possible. meanwhile, brock purdy says his back is fine. niners looking to bounce back from a bad loss to the rams. they host the patriots on sunday with both teams coming in at one and two. purdy knows that most games are decided by a handful of plays, so you can't take anything for granted. >> i think it just gives us, you know, a reality check of every game matters. every play matters. every drive matters. and you can't take it for granted because, you know, especially at the end, you know, trying to get into the playoffs and everything, you wish you
11:54 pm
could have had those couple plays back to win that game, to then have that game towards the end. all of it matters and it ties together. so but more than anything, we have a standard here and that's what we're focused on every single day. >> and hey, we've got after the game coming your way after monday night football between the seahawks and lions. coverage starts at 5 p.m. join larry biel and the gang right here on monday night. you saw it here on abc seven. number two georgia at number four alabama. and it lived up to the hype. all bama in the first half. early heisman front runner jalen milroe. he's rolling 36 yards. touchdown run on fourth and one. they racked up a 28 to nothing lead. but it ain't over. no way georgia came all the way back to take the lead. carson beck airing it out to dylan bell. 67 yards and he's got it. this guy is a strong man and he is a fast man. bama fans can't watch. they don't believe what they're seeing. like what is going on here. but that
11:55 pm
heartache didn't last. on the very next play milroe to 17 year old true freshman ryan williams and he is gone 75 yards to the house. williams had six catches for 177 yards in his breakout game, and the tide win the game of the year so far, 41 to 34. the warriors begin training camp next week with media day on monday on friday, they officially named jerry stackhouse and terry stotts as assistant coaches. stotts spent 13 years as head coach of the trail blazers. this is his second stint with the warriors. stotts was on mike montgomery's staff back in 2004. stackhouse was spectacular as a player and has spent the past few years as the head coach of vanderbilt university. no matter who's new to the squad, they already know what head coach steve kerr and gm mike dunleavy are fully aware of missing the playoffs again is not acceptable. >> we're probably as impatient as a franchise as you can be right now, given our time horizon and all that, but
11:56 pm
there's a fine line between impatience and undisciplined, and i think, feel good about the discipline that we held this summer and the roster we built and the growth from a man that we're going to have and so we're in a good spot heading this year. and i know everybody's always looking for big headline breaking news and all that, but i really like this team. there's a good vibe for sure. and i think what we're going to have to figure out is combinations. you know, we've got a lot of good players and i think you could make the argument we've got 12 or 13 guys that could all be in the rotation. so we've got to figure out how to put those groups together. but i'm confident we'll be able to do so. >> let's kick it. quakes north of the border in montreal. no score in the first half. early in the second. off the corner, montreal's joseph martinez heads in the first of his two goals on the night. we're breathing heavy. they'd add a third. and the quakes are shut out in this one. three to nil. this abc seven sports report is sponsored by river rock casino. dion j.r.
