During Monday’s OTAs, safety Tarvarius Moore tore his Achilles, which means he’ll likely miss the 2021 season. Moore was set to be the 49ers’ utility defensive back, where he bounces from deep safety to the middle of the field to nickel cornerback. With Moore out, that opens the door for another safety.
Tony Jefferson and Tavon Wilson are the veterans. Still, rookie Talanoa Hufanga, who played all over during his career at USC, now has an opportunity to get onto the field sooner than later.
Wilson started 13 games in 2019 but has only started double-digit games once in the past six seasons.
