Safety Tavon Wilson has been practicing in place of Tartt during training camp and has been impressing coaches and teammates during his first offseason with the 49ers.
"I think having Tavon in, Tavon has done a really good job," defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans said this week. "I mean, you can tell he's a true pro. He's a leader. I love his approach to every day. He attacks every day the right way, does a really awesome job of communicating out there with the guys, making sure guys are all on the same page. And he's just been great in there. So I'm happy that we were able to get Tavon, a really great addition to our team, and I like the way he's working."
Ryans said the following when asked about a potential safety competition when Tartt returns: "We'll see what happens. Whenever Tartt comes back, we'll see what happens there."
