TALANOA HUFANGA NEWS

Could resume practice soon Hufanga (knee) may start getting eased into practice pending good news from his doctor this week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said late in July that he expected Hufanga to return to football activities within a matter of weeks, and he's getting closer to fulfilling that goal. In any case, it would still be impressive if he were available for action come Week 1.

Expected back within two weeks San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that he expects Hufanga (knee) to be back "in the next week or two," David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hufanga is in the final stages of his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last November against Tampa Bay. Shanahan indicated Saturday that Hufanga may be able to return around the time the 49ers and Saints hold joint practices, which will take place in mid-August. Hufanga thus has a good chance of being ready to take on his starting safety role from the opening game of the regular season.

Starts camp on PUP The 49ers placed Hufanga (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hufanga is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last Week 11. He's just over eight months removed from the injury, so there's certainly a chance he's back for Week 1 this season. Once healthy, Hufanga will reclaim his starting safety role next to Ji'Ayir Brown.
