The injury bug won’t leave the 49ers alone. Kyle Shanahan said safety Jimmie Ward pulled his hamstring, leaving his availability for Week 1 in doubt. Shanahan said Ward “is going to need some time,” and the injury is “pretty bad.”
Shanahan continued: “It’s been bothersome to me. They’ve all come after a day off in practice. I think our biggest challenge has been these off days and how to come back from them.”
Ward joins Daniel Brunskill, Elijah Mitchell, Emmanuel Moseley, and Charvarius Ward as players who have suffered some level of a hamstring injury during the past couple of weeks.
