  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that it's "not a sure thing" that Hufanga will return from a wrist injury during the 2024 season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Hufanga played through knee and ankle injuries earlier in the regular season before suffering ligament damage in his right wrist in Week 5 against the Cardinals. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 9, and while a four-game minimum stint would set his return for Nov. 10 against the Buccaneers, it appears the injury is severe enough for the 24-year-old safety to possibly be sidelined for the rest of the 2024 campaign. In Hufanga's absence, George Odum (knee) has provided valuable depth at safety behind starters Malik Mustapha and Ji'Ayir Brown.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Moves to IR
    By RotoWire

    Hufanga (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday Hufanga suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and reportedly suffered ligament damage with an estimated one-month recovery time. Considering the move to IR will guarantee a four-game absence, or about the time it'll take to recover, his move to IR makes sense. The USC product's absence will still be a blow to the 49ers' secondary, and they'll need to turn to George Odum again to handle the strong safety position.

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Hufanga has ligament damage in his wrist and will miss about a month, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Hufanga suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and logged a DNP on the team's practice estimate Monday. Considering he has about a four-week timeline to recover, the USC product will be a candidate for injured reserve. However, if the 49ers feel like he could return sooner, they'll likely avoid that route and not force him to miss the mandatory four games an IR stint brings.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Misses practice
    By RotoWire

    Hufanga (wrist) was a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports. Hufanga was unable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals after injuring his wrist. His estimated non-participation at practice is not a good sign for his status on a short week ahead of a Thursday night matchup against the Seahawks. George Odum would presumably next in line at strong safety should Hufanga be forced to sit out.

  • 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.
