The 49ers are better, defensively, when Jaquiski Tartt is on the field, but injuries have limited his impact. Back on a one-year deal, his health is vital.

When veteran safety Jaquiski Tartt suffered a season-ending turf-toe injury late in 2020, many thought that would be the end of his tenure with the San Francisco 49ers.

Turns out those predictions were incorrect, as the Niners brought Tartt back on a one-year deal despite the decreased salary cap and a slew of other free agents the team wanted to re-sign.
