49ers hope to get star safety Talanoa Hufanga back this week against the Rams
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga was a full participant in practice for the first time since tearing a ligament in his knee last November and could be set to return to game action this week. We’ve missed him.” Hufanga was drafted in the fifth round by San Francisco in 2021 and played mostly on special teams at the start before working his way into the defense late in his rookie season. All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with Achilles’ tendinitis and star receiver Deebo Samuel will miss a couple of weeks after straining his calf. “We’re without Deebo and Christian, but we have plenty of good players.” This will be the first time the 49ers will play without both McCaffrey and Samuel on the field since a Week 13 loss at Seattle in 2021.
