The San Francisco 49ers are going to be missing several key offensive playmakers this week against the Los Angeles Rams. That said, the defense was expecting to get a big boost from the return of safety Talanoa Hufanga. Hufanga appears to be on the verge of returning to the field for the first time since suffering a torn ACL last season. However, it seems that the status of one of the Niners' other top defensive backs is now in question.
49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward did not practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury and is expected to be listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
