49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Productive in win
Brown tallied seven tackles (three solo) in San Francisco's win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Brown finished tied for third on the team in tackles in the victory. The 25-year-old has been on a hot streak over the past two weeks, recording a combined 17 tackles (six solo). He'll look to carry this level of production into the Week 12 matchup versus the Panthers.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Notches double-digit tackles
Brown recorded 10 tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.
Brown has served as the 49ers' strong safety since Week 6, and he logged 100 percent of defensive snaps for the fifth straight game. He had his most productive game of the season, with his previous high being five tackles. Brown also has a pass defensed in consecutive contests.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Makes preseason debut vs. Raiders
Brown (ankle) logged four tackles (three solo) during the 49ers' 22-19 preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday.
An ankle injury prevented Brown from playing in the Niners' preseason opener against the Broncos, but he was cleared to make his preseason debut Saturday and logged 33 snaps (30 on defense, three on special teams). The 2023 third-rounder saw an increased role in the 49ers' defense during his sophomore campaign, finishing with 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass defenses (one interception) across 17 regular-season games. Brown is slated to start at safety, but with Malik Mustapha (knee) still on the PUP list, it's unclear who will start alongside the former by Week 1.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Sits out of practice Monday
Brown (ankle) did not participate in practice Monday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The safety appears to be dealing with the same issue that kept him out of minicamp in June, as he has now missed two sessions during training camp as well, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Brown has participated in most training camp practices, though, so the injury does not appear to be serious. The 2023 third-round pick stepped into a starting role last year, recording 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass breakups.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Recovered from ankle injury
Brown (ankle) has participated in practices during the 49ers' first week of training camp, Jerry McDonald of The Mercury News reports.
Brown was held out of minicamp in June due to an ankle injury, but he has recovered enough to be given the green light to participate in training camp practices. The 2023 third-rounder saw a bigger role on the 49ers' defense during his sophomore campaign and finished with 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass defenses (one interception) across 17 regular-season games. Brown is expected to start at safety alongside Malik Mustapha (knee) in 2025.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Not participating in minicamp
Brown (ankle) isn't participating in San Francisco's minicamp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Brown continues to deal with an ankle injury that he picked up earlier in the offseason. The 25-year-old is expected to be healthy in time for training camp and should serve as one of the team's starting safeties once the regular season begins.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Dealing with ankle issue
Brown will be out until training camp after undergoing a procedure on his ankle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
It's a bit of a hiccup for the safety who enjoyed a strong sophomore campaign in 2024, recording 77 tackles (48 solo), including three for a loss, and six pass breakups, including an interception. As long as Brown really does return for training camp, though, he should be in line to start again in 2025.

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.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Limited to open week
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.
