Update: I spoke with @chriscabott, Hufanga's agent. He insists that the plan is for Hufanga to try to play in a few weeks while wearing a cast. That would be a welcome development https://t.co/09jQnZtkiK

I don't get to say this much but I think Michael Silver is right.

He can't catch an interception like that. His best quality. So keep playing the young guys. Honestly think they are slightly faster anyway. Hufanga is instinctive (used to be at least) but slow.

Yep I agree. This dumbass is gonna play with a cast and could very well contribute to a loss more than win. Dude has a hard time wrapping up when tackling now he's gonna try it with a cast on, what a joke!!!

I was going to say the same thing. There is no way he's going to be able to tackle with one arm.

Yeah cause our Safeties now are complete studs lol

Brah calling him a dumbass for wanting to play with a cast is a joke when you had nothing but love and support for a guy that pulled himself from the game for a f**kin calf contusion (Jimmy)

Mustapha is a stud. I never loved Jimmy.

How long you guys been watching football?? Guys been playing in cast for a long LONG time, including our very own Patrick Willis. You absolutely can tackle with one arm and this post will look dumb as f**k when he gets a tackle immediately in his first game back

Mustapha is a stud already? But the guy with a much more proven track record isn't, yeah makes sense. Huff will never be on a highlight reel getting run the f**k over from Patrick Mahomes

And I was talking to Kolohe about Jimmy G; we all know your love fest with that scrub. The one you are thinking of is spelled Jimmie, who is/was a better safety than all of them when it comes to tackling

Mustapha was making plays all over the field and blowing people up. He pulled up on Mahomes because he was already slightly in. It would just be a 15 yard penalty. The league favors Mahomes.

I never loved Jimmy. Purdy is better and I said so always. Even he has some physical limits. But the mental game and processing is better (Purdy). On full body of work. He has an occasional bad game. But so does any QB in the NFL. Montana, Young, Brady or even Mahomes for that matter had one off bad games sometimes. It happens. Body of work says pretty good processor for Purdy.

No. His tackling has always has been inconsistent at best and to think it will be serviceable with one arm is crazy.

It is a joke, cause he misses a lot of tackles as it is and now he's gonna make it harder on himself by playing with a cast, it's all pride, but think about the team. Braddah you sounding real biased right now.

I don't think it's just about pride. He's a free agent and he knows his value only gets lower missing the rest of the season.

He's injured, if it's not about pride and about money it makes no difference. IMO. You only hurt the team by playing hurt at your position which requires taking the ball away and number one, wrapping up your tackler. Either way, he's gonna need to take a prove it deal.
