Set to play Brown (ankle) will play Thursday against the Seahawks.

Impact Brown left Sunday's loss to the Cardinals early with the injury, then logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to start the week. However, after being listed as a full participant Wednesday, the 24-year-old has the all-clear to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup.

Limited Monay Brown (ankle) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Impact Brown injured his ankle in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals. His status will need to be monitored as the week progresses. If he is ultimately unable to suit up Thursday in Seattle, Malik Mustapha would likely be next-man-up at free safety.

Exits with injury Brown (ankle) has left Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown's departure will leave the 49ers down both of their starting safeties going into halftime, as Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) has already been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Brown will try to return in the second half; however, if he is unable to, Malik Mustapha will likely handle snaps at free safety.

Leads Niners with eight tackles Brown tallied eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.

Impact Brown was the leading tackler for the 49ers on Sunday, and his eight tackles were the most in a regular-season game of his young career. The 2023 third-round pick emerged as a starter in his rookie season, and he's played every single defensive snap through the first four regular-season games of 2024. Brown is up to 20 tackles (13 solo) and three passes defended on the year.

Unavailable Wednesday Brown (knee) did not participate at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brown missed the team's Week 17 win over the Commanders with a knee injury, which has continued to keep him on the sidelines to open the week. With the 49ers already locked into the top seed in the NFC for the postseason, it's possible that the team opts to keep Brown off the field again in Week 18. More information on the safety's status will come following Thursday's second practice session of the week.

Does not miss snap in win Brown recorded seven tackles (five solo) in the 49ers' 42-19 win over the Eagles in Week 13.

Impact Brown's tackle count was his highest total of the season. It was his second week starting at strong safety with Talanoa Hufanga (knee) out for the year. He was reliable in the secondary, as the 23-year-old did not miss a snap. Brown will look to carry that momentum into Week 14 versus the Seahawks.

In line to start Brown is expected to start at strong safety moving forward after Talanoa Hufanga suffered a torn ACL in the 49ers' win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nick Wagoner reports.

Impact Brown stepped in after Hufanga suffered the injury, and that will remain the case moving forward. Selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft, Brown has mostly contributed on special teams thus far and played more defensive snaps in Week 11 than he had all season combined. The Penn State product was able to deliver when called upon though, recording four tackles (two solo), three passes defended and an interception, which occurred late in the fourth quarter and helped seal the victory.
