News

  • Two INTs through three games

    Hufanga had one solo tackle and and an interception in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The 49ers dominated time of possession against the overmatched Giants, so nobody on San Francisco's defense compiled more than five tackles. Hufanga has only 11 tackles (eight solo) through three games after racking up 97 tackles (66 solo) in his breakout 2022 season, but the 23-year-old safety is already halfway to last season's total of four interceptions. He picked off Daniel Jones on a tipped ball in the fourth quarter and notched eight yards on the return.

  • Records pick in season opener

    Hufanga notched five solo tackles, an interception and a pass defended in a 30-7 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hufanga's pick came early in the fourth quarter and ultimately led to the game's final score, a field goal that made it 30-7. Next up for the USC product and San Francisco is the Rams on Sunday.

  • Cleared to play Week 1

    Hufanga (knee/personal) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Steelers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga was limited with a knee issue Wednesday and missed Thursday's session to tend to a personal matter. He's now good to go against Pittsburgh after being named a first-team All-Pro last season, his first as a starter. During that campaign, Hufanga registered 97 tackles, nine pass breakups, four interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles.

  • Dealing with personal matter

    Hufanga, who has also been dealing with a knee injury, did not practice Thursday due to a personal matter, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The update does little to provide any clarity regarding Hufanga's status for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, which is up in the air. Whether or not he's able to practice in full Friday should help provide a clearer picture of his Week 1 health.

  • Limited practice Wednesday

    Hufanga (knee) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga is dealing with a cyst in his knee, but considering he opened the week as an active participant, it's very likely that he plays Sunday versus the Steelers. The safety is coming off a breakout 2022 campaign where he recorded 97 tackles, nine pass deflections and four interceptions.

  • Back practicing

    Hufanga (knee) was a full participant at practice Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The third-year safety had been working through a cyst in his knee, but it looks like he should be ready to go for the Week 1 matchup against the Steelers. After notching 97 tackles in 2022, Hufanga will be relied on as a key contributor on a defense once again projected to be among the league's top all-around units.

  • Absent from practice

    Hufanga (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga is currently sidelined with a cyst in his knee, but he is not expected to be out of action for too long. He underwent PRP treatment on the issue, which was expected to expedite the process. The third-year safety is viewed as an important playmaker for the 49ers this season. Expect more clarity on his status to be gained ahead of Week 1 once the team provides its initial injury report next week.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Hufanga has a Baker's cyst in his knee but is expected to be available again in the coming days, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga also underwent PRP treatment on his knee, according to Shanahan, and this should help expedite his recovery from the issue. The third-year safety grew into a major role for the 49ers last season, logging 97 tackles, two sacks, nine passes defended and four interceptions over 17 games. Hufanga will serve as an important playmaker on the back end of San Francisco's defense this coming season.

  • Breakout year at safety

    Hufanga finished the 2022 season with 97 tackles (66 solo), four interceptions, two sacks and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games.

    Analysis: Hufanga also scored a touchdown on one of his interceptions, rounding out a breakout year at safety. The 2021 fifth-round pick remains on his rookie contract through the 2024 season, but he will likely command some sort of extension before then if he can reproduce the results we saw this year. Hufanga will begin next season as the 49ers' starting strong safety, putting him in position to post strong IDP numbers.

  • Nine stops in Week 17

    Hufanga notched nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hufanga's nine tackles were good for second on the team behind Fred Warner and tied his second-highest mark of the season. In his first full season as a starter, the second-year safety has totaled 93 stops, nine pass defenses, four interceptions, two sacks, two forced fumbles and one defensive touchdown.

  • Forces fumble in shutout

    Hufanga logged nine tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Hufanga finished with a team high in tackles during this shutout performance for the 49ers' defense. The second-year safety also forced his fifth turnover of the season, punching out a fumble from running back Alvin Kamara in the fourth quarter. Hufanga has been a massive contributor since stepping into a starting role for San Francisco's secondary in 2022, and he'll likely need to notch another standout performance to help come away with a win against Miami's prolific offense next Sunday.

  • Eight stops in win

    Hufanga tallied eight tackles (six solo) in Sundays 31-14 win against the Rams.

    Analysis: Hufanga logged his most productive statistical outing since his NFL debut in San Francisco's season opener. The second-year safety emerged into a starring role over the first half of the season, and he has now recorded 48 tackles (35 solo), one sack, six passes defended and three touchdowns with one defensive touchdown in 2022. Hufanga's next contest will come against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 13.

  • Out of concussion protocol

    Hufanga (concussion) is listed as active Sunday against the Chiefs, Lindsey Pallares and Briana McDonald of the 49ers' official site report.

    Analysis: Hufanga initially picked up a head injury last Sunday in Atlanta but was able to return to the game. However, he entered the concussion protocol one day later and managed just one limited practice during Week 7 prep, leaving him questionable for this contest. Per David Lombardi of The Athletic, Hufanga took part in a pregame warmup, signifying he may have gained clearance to play, and indeed that has come to pass. The 49ers' starting strong safety has been all over the field this season,…read more

  • Listed as questionable for Sunday

    Hufanga (concussion) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga entered concussion protocol Monday after taking a hit to the head in a Week 6 loss against Atlanta. He missed the first two practices this week but was able to return in a limited fashion Friday. Should Hufanga not be able to clear the protocol, Tarvarius Moore could be in line to replace him in the lineup.

  • Sits out again

    Hufanga (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga exited Sunday's game after suffering a head injury. He was initially cleared to return to the matchup before entering concussion protocol Monday. After sitting out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Hufanga was able to make it on the practice field with a helmet on and went through warmups with the team. The starting safety has logged 36 tackles, five pass breakups, one sack and two interceptions through six games. Friday's practice report should provide more insight on his status…read more

  • Sits out Wednesday

    Hufanga (concussion) did not participate in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga was evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's loss to the Falcons, but he was initially cleared to return to this contest before entering protocol Monday. The starting strong safety has emerged into a prominent role for San Francisco this season, recording 36 tackles, one sack, five passes defended and two interceptions over six games. Hufanga will have two more practices Thursday and Friday to improve his status, or else he'll likely sit out this Sunday's game versus Kansas City.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Initially cleared to return after suffering a blow to the head during Sunday's loss at Atlanta, Hufanga entered concussion protocol Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per coach Kyle Shanahan, Hufanga did not display concussion symptoms until entering the 49ers' facilities Monday. If the sophomore safety is forced to miss Week 7 versus Kansas City, George Odum would likely be in line for the majority of the fill-in reps.

  • First sack of 2022

    Hufanga recorded five tackles (two solo), one sack and one pass breakup during Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hufanga's totaled 30 tackles, two interceptions and five pass breakups through his five contests of 2022. This is already a drastic increase from his 2021 campaign, where he compiled 32 tackles, zero interceptions and two pass breakups through 15 games. The 22-year-old is on pace for 100 plus tackles this season if he remains healthy.

  • Stuffs stat sheet in loss

    Hufanga totaled a team-high 11 tackles (nine solo), including two tackles for loss, and an interception in Sunday's 19-10 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Both offenses struggled on a wet and muddy field in Chicago, but Hufanga made life especially difficult for the home side. In addition to consistently making plays in the running game, the 23-year-old safety picked off Justin Fields in the first quarter. Hufanga's strong season debut likely solidified his starting spot at strong safety for the foreseeable future.

  • Competing for starting safety job

    Hufanga is one of several options who could start at strong safety alongside 49ers' veteran free safety, Jimmie Ward, this season.

    Analysis: The hard-hitting Hufanga impressed the coaching staff with his physical style of play last year, posting 32 tackles primarily as a special-teams contributor. The 2021 fifth-round pick isn't the best coverage safety at this point of his career, so he will likely come off the field in some situations even if he wins the job. From an IDP standpoint, Hufanga would have to be an every-down starter to gain serious IDP consideration this season.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Hufanga (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga sat out the wild-card victory with the knee issue but appears ready to go heading into Saturday's matchup with the Packers. He should be the primary backup at safety for the 49ers behind starters Jaquiski Tartt and Jimmie Ward.

  • Not available Sunday

    Hufanga (knee) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga played just 10 snaps during Week 15 before suffering the knee injury. After a two-game absence, he tried to return in Week 18, but he played just nine snaps before having to be sidelined again. The 49ers will have to rely on Jarrod Wilson as the primary backup safety to Jaquiski Tartt and Jimmie Ward.

  • Considered questionable

    Hufanga (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Hufanga was a limited participant at practice all week and is looking like a true game-time decision. Jarrod Wilson would be the only depth available at safety should Hufanga ultimately be unable to go.

  • Will not return

    Hufanga (knee) will not return Sunday against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga was seeing his first action since Week 15 after missing time with a knee injury. It is unknown if the injuries are related. With Hufanga out, the 49ers are extremely thin at safety, which will put extra weight on starters Jaquiski Tartt and Jimmie Ward.

  • Should return Sunday

    Hufanga (knee) logged a full practice Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga hasn't played since Week 15 against the Falcons when he suffered the injury. His return Sunday against the Rams would be a huge boost to the depth of the 49ers' secondary, especially if Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) is unable to play.

  • Out for Week 17

    Hufanga (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Texans, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga is out for the second consecutive game due to a knee injury after failing to practice in any capacity during the week. Jaquiski Tartt will be locked into a big role at strong safety with Tavon Wilson (foot) also sidelined.

  • May miss Sunday

    Hufanga (knee) is doubtful for Sunday against the Texans.

    Analysis: Hufanga was unable to practice all week and is likely to miss his second straight game after suffering the injury in Week 15 against the Falcons. If Hufanga does sit, Jarrod Wilson will likely see extra work at safety for the 49ers on Sunday against the Texans.

  • Ruled out for Thursday night

    Hufanga (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night's contest against the Titans, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Hufanga suffered a knee sprain during Sunday's win over Atlanta and won't be available for Thursday Night Football after the quick turnaround. The 49ers currently only have two safeties -- Jaquiski Tartt and Jimmie Ward -- healthy for their matchup with the Titans.

  • Has sprained knee

    Hufanga is dealing with a knee sprain and will be evaluated during the week, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The injury knocked Hufanga out of Sunday's win over Atlanta. San Francisco has a short turnaround before facing the Titans on Thursday, which means Hufanga will be facing an uphill battle to suit up. If neither Hufanga nor Jaquiski Tartt (ankle) can go, Jarrod Wilson would slide up to the top of the depth chart at strong safety.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Hufanga (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

    Analysis: The loss of Hufanga will hurt the 49ers' depth on defense, which probably means Jarrod Wilson will see most of Hufanga's snaps. The extent of the injury has not been revealed, and it remains to be seen whether the former USC standout will recover in time to face the Titans on Dec. 23.

  • Questionable to return

    Hufanga is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers are depleted defensively, and losing Hufanga wouldn't help the team's cause, particularly from a depth perspective. If he can't return, Jarrod Wilson might be in line for a bigger workload going forward.

  • Expected to draw start

    Hufanga is expected to start at strong safety in place off Jaquiski Tartt (knee) on Sunday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tartt was placed on injured reserve Saturday, so Hufanga will likely draw starts at strong safety during his absence. The 22-year-old played a season-high 31 snaps against the Colts in Week 7 and registered two tackles. The rookie will get his first extended work of his NFL career Sunday.
