49ers News: Talanoa Hufanga's Status Remains Uncertain Ahead of Week 1

49ers Safety Talanoa Hufanga is dealing with a knee injury and his status for Week 1 is uncertain.

The 49ers are preparing for their Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears, but they may be without one of their key defensive players. Safety Talanoa Hufanga is dealing with a knee injury and his status for the game is uncertain.

Hufanga suffered the injury in the 49ers' preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. He underwent an MRI on Monday, and the results showed that he has a bone bruise. The 49ers are calling the injury a "week-to-week" situation, but Hufanga is not expected to practice this week.

If Hufanga is unable to play in Week 1, the 49ers will likely start George Odum at safety. Odum started 10 games for the 49ers last season and had 50 tackles and two interceptions.

The 49ers are hoping that Hufanga will be able to return for their Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. However, the team is not going to rush him back if he is not fully healthy.
