For what it's worth, AA 46 has slipped to 7:45. Good luck with finding a gate and an understanding checkin agent.
If the suitcase is close to carryon size, and no issues with the contents, maybe you could get it through TSA and gate-check it?
Also: Based on recent history, looks like AA 46 will depart from the far end of the K concourse.
