49ers' George Odum: Making push for bigger role
David Lombardi of The Athletic relays that George Odum's performance in training camp is earning him a bigger role in the San Francisco 49ers' defense, and the 30-year-old is currently listed as the starting strong safety on San Francisco's depth chart.Since joining San Francisco in 2022, Odum has been used primarily on special teams, playing just 37 snaps on defense in each of the last two regular seasons. However, with strong safety Talanoa Hufanga still recovering from a torn ACL and not expected to be back until mid-August, Odum has taken advantage of his increased reps with the first-team defense, recording a handful of interceptions in training camp. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he wants to Odum on the field more, noting last week that "we're going to try and find a way to put [Odum] on both [defense and special teams]."

49ers' George Odum: Practice window officially opens
The San Francisco 49ers designated George Odum (biceps) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.Odum landed on IR at the end of November after tearing his biceps Week 12 against Seattle. With San Francisco holding the NFC's No. 1 seed and thus a bye this week, the veteran safety will work to return in time for next weekend's divisional round. Odum spent most of his time on special teams prior to getting hurt and would presumably return to the same role if he's able to make it back on the field for the playoffs, though his work on defense could grow if Ji'Ayir Brown (knee) and/or Tashaun Gipson (quad) end up missing extended time.
