49ers' Talanoa Hufanga Out at Minnesota

Reason for absence

San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga will miss the team's Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings due to a knee injury, coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. Hufanga suffered the injury in last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals and did not practice this week.

Who will replace Hufanga?

George Odum

With Hufanga out, George Odum is expected to start at free safety. Odum has started four games this season and has made 26 tackles.

Tashaun Gipson

Tashaun Gipson is another option to start at free safety. Gipson has started 10 games this season and has made 45 tackles.

Hufanga's injury history

Hufanga has had a history of knee injuries. He missed the first two games of the 2021 season with a knee injury. He also missed two games in 2020 with a knee injury.

49ers' secondary without Hufanga

The 49ers' secondary will be without one of its best players in Hufanga. Hufanga is a versatile safety who can play both free safety and strong safety. He is also a good tackler and has a knack for making big plays.

Conclusion

The 49ers will be without Talanoa Hufanga when they face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Hufanga is a key player in the 49ers' secondary, and his absence will be a big loss. The 49ers will need to find a way to replace Hufanga's production if they want to win on the road against the Vikings.
