Breathe a sigh of relief. Especially after you read this:

Jimmie Ward is already running sprints on a side practice field. Don't think the hamstring is going to keep him out long

Jimmie Ward was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP) after a hamstring injury. He was listed as week-to-week and there wasn’t much more to go on besides that. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said placing Ward on the list was simply a precaution to not aggravate anything.

If Ward is sprinting up and down the sidelines, it’s definitely inspiring to expect him back sooner rather than later.
