49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Cleared to play Week 1
Hufanga (knee/personal) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Steelers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Hufanga was limited with a knee issue Wednesday and missed Thursday's session to tend to a personal matter. He's now good to go against Pittsburgh after being named a first-team All-Pro last season, his first as a starter. During that campaign, Hufanga registered 97 tackles, nine pass breakups, four interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Limited practice Wednesday
Hufanga (knee) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Hufanga is dealing with a cyst in his knee, but considering he opened the week as an active participant, it's very likely that he plays Sunday versus the Steelers. The safety is coming off a breakout 2022 campaign where he recorded 97 tackles, nine pass deflections and four interceptions.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Back practicing

The third-year safety had been working through a cyst in his knee, but it looks like he should be ready to go for the Week 1 matchup against the Steelers. After notching 97 tackles in 2022, Hufanga will be relied on as a key contributor on a defense once again projected to be among the league's top all-around units.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Absent from practice
Hufanga (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Hufanga is currently sidelined with a cyst in his knee, but he is not expected to be out of action for too long. He underwent PRP treatment on the issue, which was expected to expedite the process. The third-year safety is viewed as an important playmaker for the 49ers this season. Expect more clarity on his status to be gained ahead of Week 1 once the team provides its initial injury report next week.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Dealing with knee injury
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Hufanga has a Baker's cyst in his knee but is expected to be available again in the coming days, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Hufanga also underwent PRP treatment on his knee, according to Shanahan, and this should help expedite his recovery from the issue. The third-year safety grew into a major role for the 49ers last season, logging 97 tackles, two sacks, nine passes defended and four interceptions over 17 games. Hufanga will serve as an important playmaker on the back end of San Francisco's defense this coming season.
