San Francisco defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen will rely on Malik Mustafa at safety in place of Hufanga. The rookie has appeared in five games — one as a starter and has impressed coach Kyle Shanahan with his hard-hitting tendencies, but recognizes the need for the young defender’s continued growth.
