  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Set to suit up Sunday

    Hufanga (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with Arizona, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Hufanga missed Week 4 versus New England due to an ankle issue, but he'll be able to return one week later. The safety has played in just one game so far this season, notching seven tackles (four solo) in Week 3 against the Rams. Hufanga's return means Malik Mustapha likely will return to a rotational role after playing all 62 defensive snaps Week 4.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Limited in Thursday's practice

    Hufanga (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the 49ers' injury report Thursday.

    Hufanga was unable to play in Week 4 against the Patriots due to an ankle injury, but he's managed to log consecutive limited practice sessions this week. Friday's injury report should provide some clarity on his status heading into Sunday's NFC West showdown against the Cardinals.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Back at practice

    Hufanga (ankle) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.

    Hufanga suffered an ankle injury at practice late last week and was ultimately forced to miss the team's 30-13 win over the Patriots. His ability to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction, and he'll look to increase his activity prior to Friday's final injury report.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Won't play Sunday

    Hufanga (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Hufanga injured his ankle during Thursday's practice and will hit the sidelines again. He missed the first two games of the campaign while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL last season. George Odum started those games in Hufanga's absence and should have a large role against New England.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Nursing ankle injury

    Hufanga injured his ankle during Thursday's practice session, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Hufanga's ankle injury caused him to sit out of Friday's practice session, and as a result, he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Hufanga missed the first two games of the regular season while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL he sustained last November. If he's unable to play Sunday, George Odum would serve as the 49ers' starting strong safety against New England.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Productive in loss

    Hufanga recorded seven tackles (four solo) in San Francisco's 27-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Hufanga finished second on the team in tackles during his first game back since tearing his ACL last November. The 2021 fifth-round pick will look to build off this strong performance next week when the 49ers take on the Patriots.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Will be on snap count Sunday

    Hufanga (knee) will be on a snap count Sunday against the Rams, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.

    Hufanga will be making his season debut after missing the first two weeks while working his way back from last season's torn ACL. George Odum has been starting in Hufanga's place to this point, so both he and Malik Mustapha should continue to see defensive reps this week versus Los Angeles.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Practices in full Wednesday

    Hufanga (knee) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Wednesday's practice was Hufanga's first as a full participant this season, perhaps setting the stage for him to make his 2024 debut Sunday versus the Rams. Before suffering a season-ending ACL tear last November, Hufanga tallied 52 tackles (39 solo) and three interceptions. If available against the Rams, Hufanga will likely reclaim a starting role at safety, though the 49ers could ease him back into the mix with a more limited snap count than usual.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Out at Minnesota

    Hufanga (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Vikings, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Hufanga will have to wait at least one more week to make his 2024 debut as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered late last season. George Odum figures to start in his place again in Week 2.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Deemed doubtful for Week 2

    Hufanga (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Hufanga is still recovering from the ACL tear he suffered last November. The safety was a limited participant in all three of San Francisco's practices this week, so he appears to be moving closer to a return, but it's unlikely that he'll take the field Sunday. In his place, George Odum appears set to start again after logging 100 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps Week 1 against the Jets.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Remains limited

    Hufanga (knee) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Hufanga was limited in practice throughout Week 1 prep and ultimately sat out the 49ers' win over the Jets on Monday. As Week 2 work gets underway it's more of the same for the USC product who continues to be brought back slowly from the ACL tear he suffered toward the end of the 2023 campaign. Whether he'll be able to suit up this Sunday against the Vikings remains unclear, but more clarity will likely come Thursday or Friday. If he ends up being unable to play, George Odum likely will be the candidate to fill in at safety again.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Out for Monday night

    Hufanga (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Jets, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    As expected, Hufanga will have to wait at least one more week before returning from the ACL tear he suffered late last season. In his absence, veteran George Odum could draw a start at safety next to Ji'Ayir Brown.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Unlikely to play Monday

    Hufanga (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Jets, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Hufanga was a limited participant in the 49ers' first two practices of the week as he continues to work his way back from the ACL tear he suffered last November. Assuming he doesn't suit up Monday, George Odum is the likely candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Ji'Ayir Brown.
