The 49ers have activated S Talanoa Hufanga from IR. He put in limited practices all week and is officially questionable. But Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area on Friday called him "set to return" for Sunday's game against the Bears.
The 49ers left S Talanoa Hufanga off the final Week 3 injury report for the first time this season. That should mean the first action for Hufanga since he suffered an ACL tear in Week 11 last season. I wouldn't bet on the safety getting a full workload, and there's likely more risk than reward to playing Hufanga in IDP lineups. But we'll see how quickly he can ramp back up to full duty. Expect Hufanga to reclaim the position that George Odum and Malik Mustapha have covered the first two weeks.
Niners HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's game that S Talanoa Hufanga "most likely" suffered an ACL tear in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. That would obviously end Hufanga's season. Rookie Ji'ayir Brown filled in after Hufanga left and figures to start going forward
