Injuries have been problematic for the San Francisco 49ers this season, with Arik Armstead the latest to head to injured reserve. However, some of these injuries have opened the door for some players to establish themselves in the starting lineup.
One of the most notable has been safety Jaquiski Tartt. Pro Football Focus posted their 32 observations about the 32 NFL teams on Thursday, and for the 49ers they mentioned that Tartt has ten run stops, which is tied for the second-most among safeties. A run stop is a solo tackle that results in a “win” for the defense.
