The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
The big news out of Santa Clara on Thursday was the injury to Jimmie Ward. The defensive back
suffered a broken finger during Wednesday's practice, did not practice on Thursday, and his status for Sunday is in doubt.

Rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd continues to miss practice as he deals with a back injury. He is unlikely to play on Sunday.
"Haven't ruled him out yet," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday, "but if I had to say something today, he's doubtful."
Nick Bosa (ankle) has been practicing this week and defensive coordinator Robert Saleh told reporters that the rookie defensive end is
expected to play on Sunday.
"He's going," Saleh said. "He should be (ready)."

If the 49ers draft a wide receiver, don't expect it to be a smaller guy
The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.
