49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: 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.
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.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: 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.
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, racking up 36 tackles, five pass defenses, two interceptions (one pick-six) and one sack in six appearances.
