San Francisco 49ers cornerback
Charvarius Ward briefly exited Monday night's game in the first quarter against the Arizona Cardinals with a groin injury. After returning, he was clearly playing through some discomfort. Ward
participated in only one practice (Saturday) last week. He missed sessions on Thursday and Friday due to a personal matter, rejoining his teammates in Colorado Springs on Friday night.
Defensive back Jimmie Ward, playing in the slot once again, left the field in the third quarter and headed for the locker room. Linebacker
Dre Greenlaw left the field in the fourth quarter, nursing his hand.
All of the injuries must have been minor because, for the third consecutive game, head coach Kyle Shanahan had nothing to report regarding in-game injury updates during his post-game press conference.
The only notable injury a 49ers player has sustained during that span wasn't even an in-game one. Rookie wide receiver Danny Gray
rolled his ankle in pre-game warmups ahead of the Niners' Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Gray was fine by the week's end.
That doesn't mean new injury information won't emerge today or tomorrow. Still, for now, this is fantastic news for a team that seemed plagued with injuries through the first seven weeks of the season, averaging nearly four injuries per game. For now, San Francisco remains relatively healthy and talent-rich, which will help down the stretch as the team pushes for the playoffs, and, hopefully, more.
The 49ers will have a short week before taking on the New Orleans Saints at Levi's Stadium on Sunday. Two more home games—against the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers—will follow, and the Niners will play five of their final seven games at home.

49ers insider believes team may prefer WR Brandon Aiyuk play on fifth-year option
The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
49ers express pre-draft interest in Oklahoma D-lineman Jonah Laulu
Justin Melo of The Draft Network reports that the San Francisco 49ers expressed interest in Jonah Laulu, meeting with the defensive lineman at Oklahoma's pro day on March 12.
Melo notes that Laulu is versatile enough to play defensive end or defensive tackle on an NFL defense, making him an intriguing prospect for the 49ers, who value players who can fill multiple roles.
