The San Francisco 49ers' defense may look different as strong safety Talanoa Hufanga's return to practice for the upcoming season opener remains uncertain.
Despite a positive doctor visit, Hufanga will not practice before the preseason finale, meaning his Week 1 availability is in jeopardy.
George Odum has performed admirably in place of Hufanga during camp, giving the 49ers confidence in a potential alternative as they approach the season.
The team's decision on Hufanga will depend on whether he can participate in practices leading up to Week 1, emphasizing the importance of easing him back.
