49ers Safety Malik Mustapha Uncertain for Game

Ian Thomas of the Panthers is questionable to return in Week 10 due to a calf injury sustained in the first half, potentially leaving the team without key tight-end depth as Tommy Tremble is also sidelined. Meanwhile, the 49ers face uncertainty with rookie safety Malik Mustapha, who is also dealing with a calf injury that limited his practice participation. Mustapha's absence could lead to veteran Tashaun Gipson stepping in, who has a strong track record with the team. Both players’ injuries highlight a challenging week for their respective teams as they prepare for crucial matchups. The 49ers will also monitor other injuries, including running back Jordan Mason and star player Nick Bosa, as they approach their game against the Buccaneers.
