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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 17 Hufanga (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Texans, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
