Back in action Week 8 Ward (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Impact The 29-year-old missed Week 7 with the quadriceps injury and was questionable for this week, but he's good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup. Ward will reclaim the starting spot at free safety, while Marcell Harris or Tarvarius Moore fill in at strong safety for Jaquiski Tartt (groin).

Samuel, Wilson to miss 49ers game vs. Seahawks
The San Francisco 49ers will be without receiver Deebo Samuel and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. for their game against the Seattle SeahawksOCTOBER 30, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tagged as questionable Ward (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Ward suffered a quadriceps injury in this past Sunday's win over New Englad, and while he started the practice week as a non-participant, the veteran safety logged consecutive limited sessions to close out the week. This gives Ward a decent chance to suit up Sunday, and he'll start at free safety if he's deemed active 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's held out, however, Tarvarius Moore likely will start in his place.

The loud piped in noise at practice, silent counts and other preparations that usually accompany a trip to Seattle aren’t necessary this year for the San Francisco 49ersOCTOBER 30, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Upgraded to limited in practice Ward (quadriceps) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact The 49ers' starting free safety was injured in practice last week and subsequently made unavailable for a Week 7 win over New England, but his upgraded practice status provides optimism for Sunday's matchup against Seattle. Ward has broken up just one pass through six games, though his 32 tackles put him on trajectory to compete with his career high of 65.

49ers post-Super Bowl struggles all too familiar for Rams
The offense is struggling, the defense has regressed and the injuries are mounting for the San Francisco 49ersOCTOBER 15, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Registers seven stops Ward made seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 43-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact It was a tough outing for the 49ers' banged-up secondary, as Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns. Ward is partly accountable for that, but he had a solid day for fantasy purposes and played every defensive snap.
OCTOBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
All clear Thursday Ward (wrist) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Impact Ward popped up on the injury report with the wrist issue Wednesday, as he failed to suit up in practice before he was a full participant Thursday. This is good news for the 49ers, as they'll have their starting free safety for Week 5 now that Ward appears fully healthy.

Dealing with injury Ward (wrist) was a nonparticipant during Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's unclear when Ward picked up the wrist injury, as he racked up four tackles across 71 total snaps during Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Ward will likely have to turn in some practice time if he wants a chance to suit up in Week 5's game against Miami. If he's forced to miss action, Tarvarius Moore would be in line for the start at free safety.
