Charvarius Ward Health, Injury Updates & History

Ward expects to play in Week 1 after missing the past two weeks with a back injury, the veteran corn...

Recovered from a season marked by three concussions, participated throughout the offseason program, and was limited during mandatory minicamp only because of minor back tightness. He is expected to be a full participant for training camp, though his extensive concussion history remains a significant long-term concern and puts him at increased risk for a prolonged absence should another concussion occur.

Will return from IR after his second concussion for Week 13

Questionable for Week 12 as he has been on IR with his second concussion of the season

After sustaining a concussion during warmups last week, Ward has been placed on IR and will miss the next four games

Has been ruled out of Week 7 with a concussion, he has been in concussion protocol since sustaining a concussion during warmups before the Week 6 game, he's been unable to practice since then and will need to clear protocol before being eligible to return to game action

Is in concussion protocol and has been ruled out of Week 2 as a result, this was a likely outcome after he hadn't been able to practice all week

Has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay for personal reasons

Listed as questionable for TNF, saw his typical workload in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, so it's not clear when he suffered the injury, although he did deal with knee issues earlier in the season and was unable to log back-to-back practice sessions this week

Charvarius Ward started last season on the PUP list but went on to have a great season, missing no games and finishing with 5 interceptions for San Francisco. He underwent surgery to address a core muscle injury but has reported to camp fully healthy, similar to George Kittle.
