Ready to go for training camp
Ward (groin) does not carry an injury designation ahead of the start of 49ers' training camp Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ward underwent core-muscle surgery in February, which forced him to miss OTAs and minicamp. Ward appears to have recovered enough to return for the start of training camp, though he'll likely be eased back into practice, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Ward finished the 2023 regular season with a career-high five interceptions, along with 72 tackles (56 solo), 23 passes defended, one forced fumble and one touchdown across 17 regular-season games.

Ward had a successful first season in red and gold, posting a career-high 87 tackles while forcing two turnovers over 17 healthy games in 2022. He was constantly lining up against the opposition's top threat, most notably holding Seahawks' star wideout DK Metcalf to 90 yards and no touchdowns in two regular-season meetings. Expect the 27-year-old Ward to continue serving as the 49ers' No. 1 corner this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping for extension
Ward said Tuesday that he's hoping to get an extension from the 49ers coming off an All-Pro season in 2023, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. "If they don't, I know it won't be like any bad blood between me and them," Ward said of the contract negotiations with the 49ers. "It's just like it'll be a business decision, but I'm pretty sure they would like to have me. I'd like to stay here for sure."
ANALYSIS
San Francisco rewarded star running back Christian McCaffrey with a two-year, $38 million extension Tuesday, but wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is likely next in line for an extension before Ward. The cornerback hasn't been participating in the offseason program up to this point as he recovers from offseason core-muscle surgery, but Ward is recovering at the team facility and hopes to remain with the 49ers after the three-year, $40.5 million contract he signed prior to the 2022 season expires at the end of the 2024 campaign.
