Charvarius Ward showed up on the San Francisco 49ers' Thursday injury report. The cornerback did not practice due to a heel injury. It doesn't sound too serious, as the 49ers head coach expressed optimism that Ward would be on the field Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Yeah, he had a little thing that came up yesterday, but we're feeling pretty confident he's going to be all right," Kyle Shanahan said Thursday on KNBR's "Tolbert and Copes" show.
Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks also seemed unconcerned.
"I'm not concerned at all," Wilks said in his post-practice press conference. "I think he'll be ready to play, so it's not an issue with me."
Kicker Jake Moody has been limited with a right quad injury. Things appear to be trending toward the rookie playing this weekend.
"Jake, I mean, we haven't [determined his status] for sure yet, which I think I'll do tomorrow," Shanahan said. "But I feel he's going to be real good."
