San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt has had some hard luck, injury wise, the past two seasons. In 2017, he solidified himself as the Niners’ long-term strong safety, yet landed on injured reserve after just nine games.
Fully healthy entering 2018, Tartt retained his starting gig, only to land back on IR with a broken forearm after eight games this time around.
Tartt’s absence opened up the door for San Francisco’s 2018 rookie, Marcell Harris, to compete for first-team duties in 2019 training camp. And while Harris has a good deal of promise, Tartt still looks to be the favorite to win the nod.
