Starting strong safety Malik Mustapha sustained an ACL injury in the 2024 season finale that could keep him out for the start of the 2025 campaign.

The 49ers did address the safety position via the draft when they selected Kansas State's Marques Sigle with the 160th overall pick.

With neither starting safety spot nailed down, the team will look to Ji'Ayir Brown , Richie Grant , George Odum and Sigle to fill out their secondary.
