After he was limited participant in practice last week, 49ers starting free safety Jimmie Ward was not a participant in practice Tuesday.
On Sunday, after 49ers’ preseason loss in Minnesota, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Ward did not sustain a setback when he appeared to aggravate his hamstring injury in warmups.
“He pulled some scar tissue,” Shanahan said. “In that case, it’s a good thing and not a bad thing. You have to break that scar tissue up. Sometimes it can be a little scary and not feel like it’s a good thing. It feels like you’re re-pulling it.
