Hufanga (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga injured his ankle during Thursday's practice and will hit the sidelines again. He missed the first two games of the campaign while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL last season. George Odum started those games in Hufanga's absence and should have a large role against New England.

Hufanga injured his ankle during Thursday's practice session, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga's ankle injury caused him to sit out of Friday's practice session, and as a result, he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Hufanga missed the first two games of the regular season while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL he sustained last November. If he's unable to play Sunday, George Odum would serve as the 49ers' starting strong safety against New England.

Hufanga recorded seven tackles (four solo) in San Francisco's 27-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga finished second on the team in tackles during his first game back since tearing his ACL last November. The 2021 fifth-round pick will look to build off this strong performance next week when the 49ers take on the Patriots.

Hufanga (knee) will be on a snap count Sunday against the Rams, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga will be making his season debut after missing the first two weeks while working his way back from last season's torn ACL. George Odum has been starting in Hufanga's place to this point, so both he and Malik Mustapha should continue to see defensive reps this week versus Los Angeles.

Hufanga (knee) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's practice was Hufanga's first as a full participant this season, and it appears he has recovered from the ACL tear he sustained last November. He looks to be on track to make his regular-season debut for Week 3 against the Rams, and Hufanga will assume the starting strong safety role alongside free safety Ji'Ayir Brown. Across 10 regular-season games last season, Hufanga tallied 52 tackles (39 solo) and three interceptions.

Hufanga (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Vikings, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga will have to wait at least one more week to make his 2024 debut as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered late last season. George Odum figures to start in his place again in Week 2.

Hufanga (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga is still recovering from the ACL tear he suffered last November. The safety was a limited participant in all three of San Francisco's practices this week, so he appears to be at least moving closer to a return, but it's unlikely that he'll take the field against the Vikings on Sunday. In his place, George Odum appears set to start again after logging 100 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps Week 1 against the Jets.

Hufanga (knee) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga was limited in practice throughout Week 1 prep and ultimately sat out the 49ers' win over the Jets on Monday. As Week 2 work gets underway it's more of the same for the USC product who continues to be brought back slowly from the ACL tear he suffered toward the end of the 2023 campaign. Whether or not he'll be able to suit up this Sunday against the Vikings remains unclear, but more clarity will likely come Thursday or Friday. If ends up being unable to play, George Odum will be the likely candidate to fill in at safety again.

Hufanga (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Jets, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hufanga will have to wait at least one more week before returning from the ACL tear he suffered late last season. In his absence, veteran George Odum could draw a start at safety next to Ji'Ayir Brown.

Hufanga (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Jets, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hufanga was a limited participant in the 49ers' first two practices of the week as he continues to work his way back from an ACL tear from last November. Assuming he doesn't suit up Monday, George Odum is the likely candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Ji'Ayir Brown.
