Charvarius Ward

49ers S Charvarius Ward (core) said he expects to be ready by training camp.

Speaking on Monday, Ward said he is “almost at 100 percent” after undergoing surgery for a core muscle injury after the Super Bowl. Ward reportedly played through the injury for several weeks last season, appearing in all 17 regular-season games while totaling five interceptions and 72 tackles. He received his first Pro Bowl nod for his efforts and appears to be on track to return for training camp, barring any setbacks.
