49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga aims for Week 1 return following knee surgery
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga aims to be ready to return to action in time for the season opener after tearing a ligament in his knee last November. “The goal is to be ready by Week 1,” Hufanga said Wednesday. We’ve had plenty of conversations with the training staff and putting me in the best possible situation to succeed.” Hufanga said the competitor in him wants to be back on the field as soon as possible but recognizes the need for patience to make sure he is fully healed when he returns. “So learning how to be more patient and keying your run-pass keys versus just like trying to play the call or playing the concept.” 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.
