49ers DC Nick Sorensen Gives Update on Talanoa Hufanga: 'He Looks Good'

49ers DC provides optimistic update on Talanoa Hufanga's recovery

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen provided an update on safety Talanoa Hufanga's recovery from an MCL injury suffered in the team's Week 11 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Sorensen expressed optimism about Hufanga's progress, stating that he "looks good" and is "moving around well."

Hufanga on track for return in Week 16

According to Sorensen, Hufanga is on track to return to the field in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders. Hufanga has missed the past three games due to the injury, but his return would provide a significant boost to the 49ers' defense.

Hufanga has been a key contributor to the 49ers' defense this season, recording 48 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble in 11 games. His return would add depth and experience to the 49ers' secondary, which has struggled at times in his absence.

49ers defense eager for Hufanga's return

The 49ers' defense is eager for Hufanga's return, as he is a versatile player who can play multiple positions in the secondary. Hufanga's ability to cover receivers, play in the box, and return kicks makes him a valuable asset to the team.

With the 49ers currently holding a 7-6 record and in the thick of the NFC playoff race, Hufanga's return could provide a much-needed boost to their chances of making a deep playoff run.
