San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team needed to make a decision about safety Talanoa Hufanga and whether he’d be ready for Week 1. Well, it happened, and the Niners announced that Hufanga was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List.
A healthy Hufanga gives the 49ers their best secondary under Kyle Shanahan. They’ll need all the turnovers they can get because the defensive line is expected to take a step back this season.
Additionally, defensive tackle Kalia Davis and running back Elijah Mitchell were placed on the Injured Reserve List.
