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.
