49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: May not return for 2024
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that it's "not a sure thing" that Talanoa 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
Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) was placed on injured reserve WednesdayHufanga 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 San Francisco 49ers' secondary, and they'll need to turn to George Odum again to handle the strong safety position.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Extended absence expected
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Talanoa 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 San Francisco 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.

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.
