Ward finished the 2024 season with 54 tackles (38 solo) and seven pass breakups across 12 games. After logging a league-leading 23 pass breakups, including five interceptions, during the 2023 campaign, Ward played five fewer games in 2024 and failed to record a single interception. He missed time with hamstring, knee and personal issues. Ward was a second-team All-Pro selection last season and is now slated for unrestricted free agency in March while coming off what most would consider a down year. Ward will turn 29 years old in May. His ordinary season and missed time will likely cost him some money on his next contract.

Ward (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's Week 17 game against Detroit, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Ward first appeared on the injury report Saturday when he didn't practice due to a personal matter, and he's now been ruled out for Monday Night Football. Per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested Saturday that the cause of Ward's absence is positive rather than negative. Isaac Yiadom could start Monday in Ward's stead.
Ward (personal) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Detroit, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Ward missed three games earlier in the season while attending to a personal matter. He's played in the 49ers' last four games, and over that span he has accumulated 16 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses. Isaac Yiadom would likely serve as the 49ers' second starting outside corner opposite Renardo Green if Ward is unable to play Monday.
Ward finished Sunday's 38-13 win over Chicago with five tackles (four solo). Ward tied Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha (chest) for the second-most tackles on the 49ers on Sunday behind De'Vondre Campbell (seven). Ward has registered 10 tackles (six solo) in his two games back since his three-game absence while he was away from the team attending to a personal matter.
Ward recorded five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo. Ward had sat out the 49ers' previous three games due to a serious personal matter, but he resumed his regular every-down role Sunday. He should be San Francisco's top cornerback for the rest of the season as long as he's available.
Ward (personal) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Ward sat out the past four games while mourning the loss of his one-year-old daughter. He returned to a full practice Wednesday, and it appears the seventh-year corner should be available for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Ward (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Ward spent the last three weeks away from the team mourning the loss of his one-year-old daughter and is now set to miss Sunday's matchup in Green Bay as he eases back into action, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. While Ward remains sidelined in Week 12, San Francisco's top outside cornerbacks will likely be Isaac Yiadom and Renardo Green.
Ward (personal) returned to the 49ers on Monday, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports. The starting cornerback missed the last two games following the recent passing of his one-year-old daughter. Ward's return should put him on track to play in Week 12 against the Packers. The seventh-year pro has 35 tackles (26 solo) and five passes defensed in seven games this season.
Ward (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Ward will miss a second straight game due to the recent passing of his one-year-old daughter. It's unclear how long he'll be away from the team, but Ward's next chance at playing will be Week 12 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 24. In Ward's absence, Renardo Green will step up as the second starting corner alongside Isaac Yiadom.
