Latest injury report 49ers vs. Jets: Talanoa Hufanga's participation in Monday's game is questionable

The San Francisco 49ers have released their official injury report ahead of Monday night's game against the New York Jets, scheduled for 5 p.m. at Levi's Stadium.

Here are the injuries on both sides before Week 1.

The majority of the 49ers had practiced this week. Yetur Gross-Matos and Dee Winters were the only ones who missed the entire week and instead completed their training routine due to their knee and ankle injuries, respectively.

However, several players were limited throughout the week. Aaron Banks, Isaac Guerendo, Talanoa Hufanga, Jauan Jennings and Christian McCaffrey were all limited on Thursday and Friday.

The entire group was on the field on Saturday, but it doesn't look like Talanoa Hufanga will play in Week 1, so the 49ers will likely start Ji'Ayir Brown and George Odum at safety.

Shanahan said Hufanga has looked great, but the team is trying to be smart with him. The only reason the safety wasn't ruled out was an emergency, but things are looking more positive for the early part of the season.

Only the participation of Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Banks is questionable. The former is struggling with a calf injury, while the latter is still recovering from a finger injury sustained in the middle of training camp.

Left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk are ready to play, but Shanahan said he would be “surprised” if the latter gets his normal workload in terms of snap count.

On the Jets side, they announced that linebacker Zaire Barnes and offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer were the only two players out.

The biggest story, however, was the absence of pass rusher Haason Reddick, who has not reported since his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to New York at the beginning of the offseason.

Head coach Robert Saleh said it was “safe to say” that Reddick would not play in Week 1 against the 49ers.

But overall, it seems that both teams will be at full strength when they face each other on Monday night, making for an exciting start to the season at Levi's Stadium.
