49ers' Malik Mustapha: Seven tackles vs. Tampa Bay
Malik Mustapha finished Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers with seven tackles (two solo).Mustapha was questionable to play Sunday due to a calf issue that limited him in practice. However, that didn't appear to bother the rookie fourth-round pick, as he played every single defensive snap for the third time this season and tied De'Vondre Campbell and Deommodore Lenoir for second-most tackles behind Fred Warner (nine). Through the first nine games of the regular season, Mustapha has logged 37 tackles (15 solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception).

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Set to suit up in Week 10
Malik Mustapha (calf) is not among San Francisco's inactives for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Lindsey Pallares of the San Francisco 49ers' official site reports.A calf issue resulted in Mustapha being limited in practice both Thursday and Friday, but he will be able to take the field Sunday against Tampa Bay. That's a positive development for the 49ers, whose secondary will be impacted Sunday by the absence of Charvarius Ward (personal). Mustapha has tallied 17 tackles over his past two games.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Questionable for Week 10
Malik Mustapha (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Mustapha's availability for Week 10 is in question after popping up on the San Francisco 49ers' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a calf issue. The rookie safety has been an integral part of San Francisco's defense through eight games, recording 30 total tackles and four passes defended, including one interception. If he can't play Sunday, expect George Odum to start alongside Ji'Ayir Brown as part of the 49ers' top safety duo.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Dealing with calf issue
Malik Mustapha was a limited participant in practice Thursday due to a calf injury.This is the first word of a calf issue for Mustapha, who practiced in full during the San Francisco 49ers' first session of the week Wednesday. The rookie has been a key part of San Francisco's secondary this season, tallying 30 tackles (13 solo) and an interception through eight contests. Mustapha played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 8 against Dallas prior to the 49ers' Week 9 bye, and if he's not able to suit up Sunday against Tampa Bay, George Odum or Tashaun Gipson -- the latter of whom was signed to the practice squad Tuesday -- could be called upon to start.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Malik Mustapha (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.Mustapha suffered a low-ankle sprain last Thursday against Seattle and wasn't able to return after the injury. The extended time between that contest and the beginning of the Week 7 practice slate may have aided in the safety being able to get back on the practice field Wednesday, though he was a limited participant. Mustapha seems to have a chance of suiting up Sunday versus Kansas City, but George Odum would likely take over in a starting role if Mustapha can't play.
