Jimmie Ward
49ers defense Jimmie Ward is anticipated to sit out at least the first four games due to injury. On August 15, Ward suffered a hamstring injury, which head coach Kyle Shanahan deemed "serious" at the time.
Thursday night's exhibition game against the Texans
Before Thursday night's exhibition game against the Texans, general manager John Lynch stated that the 49ers anticipated placing Ward on short-term injured reserve.
Therefore, Ward will be kept by the 49ers when they cut their roster to 53 players on Tuesday before placing him on injured reserve the following day. Ward would be sidelined for the entire season if the team placed him on injured reserve before that.
