The San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins released their first practice participation reports for Week 12, and we are getting some insight into Jimmie Ward’s status. The cornerback suffered a concussion on Sunday against the New England Patriots, and he is not back to practice yet.
The concussion protocol requires a player be asymptomatic at rest before he can begin doing football activities. Once he clears that, he can put on the non-contact jersey at practice. That results in a limited listing on the practice report. If he clears that with no symptoms, he then can return to full practice.
