49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Solid sophomore season
Brown finished the regular season with 77 tackles (48 solo) and one interception across 17 starts for San Francisco.
Brown built off of his solid rookie campaign in 2023 by serving as the team's starting free safety as a sophomore. The converted corner didn't provide any eye-opening stats from an IDP perspective, but he played his role well for a defense that struggled as a whole in 2024. Brown figures to start at free safety again for the 49ers next season barring a big-name addition in free agency.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Will suit up in season finale
Brown (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Brown had been questionable entering the weekend due to a lingering ankle issue, but he'll be available for San Francisco's final game of the campaign. The second-year safety logged only 25 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps last Monday against Detroit, so he may not see a full workload again versus Arizona. Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha have gotten the most snaps at safety for the 49ers over the past two weeks while Brown has been dealing with the ankle issue.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Questionable for Week 18
Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Brown appeared to be trending toward not playing in Sunday's divisional contest after downgrading to no participation at Thursday's practice. However, the second-year safety then logged another limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 18. If Brown is able to play through his ankle issue, he's expected to start alongside Talanoa Hufanga as part of San Francisco's top safety duo.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Downgrades to DNP on Thursday
Brown (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Brown was limited in Wednesday's session, so this is a downgrade for San Francisco's safety headed into Sunday's Week 18 finale against the Cardinals. The Niners have a laundry list of injuries on the defensive side of the ball and could be playing a number of backups in a game that has little meaning for either club.

Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.
Brown was able to play through the ankle injury in the team's 40-34 loss to the Lions in Week 17, recording two tackles (one solo). His ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday is a good sign for his availability for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Questionable for Week 17
Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Lions, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Brown suffered an ankle injury during the 49ers' Week 16 loss to the Dolphins. The injury limited him in practice all week, and he is in danger of missing his first game of the regular season. Should Brown be inactive for MNF, Malik Mustapha would likely serve as the 49ers' starting free safety alongside strong safety Talanoa Hufanga.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Opens week with limited practice
Brown (ankle) logged a limited practice session Thursday.
Brown hurt his ankle in Sunday's loss to Miami, and he was able to play only four defensive snaps in that contest. His ability to log a limited practice Thursday suggests the second-year safety could be available Monday against Detroit, though his practice participation level Friday and Saturday certainly bears monitoring. If Brown can't suit up against the Lions, Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha would likely serve as San Francisco's starting safeties, with Tashaun Gipson working in a rotational role.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Dealing with ankle injury
Brown (ankle) is day-to-day with an ankle injury ahead of Monday's matchup with the Lions, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Brown picked up an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, recording one solo tackle while playing four defensive snaps and 15 snaps on special teams. With San Francisco eliminated from postseason contention, the team will likely be cautious with their impressive second-year safety before Week 17. Brown's status will be worth monitoring when the 49ers host their first official practice of the week Thursday.

Brown (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Brown injured his groin during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams this past Thursday and finished with six tackles (four solo).

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Solid day despite getting hurt
Brown (groin) recorded six tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 12-6 loss versus the Rams.
Brown picked up a groin issue in Week 15, but along the way, he also racked up six-plus tackles for the fourth time this season. If he's at full strength, he should start at safety next to Talanoa Hufanga in Week 16 at Miami.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Viewed as day-to-day
Brown (groin) is considered day-to-day after being injured in Thursday night's loss to the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Brown gets an extended break ahead of the 49ers' Week 16 game against the Dolphins, so his practice participation level will be monitored next week. Tashaun Gipson replaced Brown against Los Angeles and would be in line for an increased role if Brown is unable to play next week.

Brown recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo.
In what was a dismal day for San Francisco as a whole, Brown at least tied his season-high tackle total. He figures to remain in an every-down role next to rookie fourth-rounder Malik Mustapha at least until Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is available to play again.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Exits with injury
Brown (ankle) has left Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Brown's departure will leave the 49ers down both of their starting safeties going into halftime, as Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) has already been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Brown will try to return in the second half, however, if he is unable to, Malik Mustapha will likely handle snaps at free safety.
