49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan knows that he wants defensive back Jimmie Ward to remain with the team in 2019 despite noting that Ward has “struggled a little bit to stay healthy” over his first five years in the NFL.Shanahan is understating things a bit. Ward has ended four of those five seasons on injured reserve and has missed 16 games over the last two seasons Solomon Thomas Jersey , which makes it hard to make much of a commitment to the impending free agent.Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that the team wants Ward back on a one-year deal that would give him a chance to show he could remain healthy. General Manager John Lynch called it a “big decision” this week because he believes other teams will be interested even though Ward keeps getting hurt.“It’s not an easy answer, because there’s a long [injury] history,” Lynch said. “But there’s also a very, very talented football player who I would tell you grew into a really special leader. … Despite that injury history, when you [have] that kind of talent, there are going to be people interested.”Lynch said the team is “going to have to let that play out,” so it sees likely that Ward will be hitting the open market before making any decisions. It was not pretty, and the San Francisco 49ers found a new way to blow a game. The 49ers led 15-10 in the fourth quarter, and Josh Rosen drove 73 yards to get the game-winning score. The Cardinals won 18-15 after the 49ers blew a snap and Beathard threw incomplete as time expired. It was about as fitting a finish for this team as possible.It was a thrilling finish for the general football fan, and probably if you are rooting for draft positioning, but it was another disappointing finish for a 49ers team that can’t close out a game to save their lives.It was an ugly game early, with neither team able to find the end zone. The 49ers got a safety in the first quarter, and an exchange of field goals had a score of 5-3 49ers at the half. The 49ers finally got things going in the second half Brock Coyle Jersey , with Marquise Goodwin catching a short pass and turning it into a 55-yard touchdown. The 49ers added a field goal and seemed in control with a 15-3 lead.However, the defense folded in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals drove 75 yards on six plays to cut the lead to 15-10, capped by a Larry Fitzgerald touchdown. After a 49ers punt, the Cardinals fumbled back to the 49ers but San Francisco could get nothing done. Josh Rosen had a bit of a coming out on the Cardinals final drive, leading them 73 yards in 1:42 for the game winning score.Injury reportThe 49ers once again dealt with more injuries. Teams get banged up fairly regularly, but it seems like the 49ers just can’t stay healthy. This time, strong safety Jaquiski Tartt and linebacker Reuben Foster were lost to injury. Foster suffered a hamstring injury, and was ruled questionable to return. He was replaced by Elijah Lee, and never returned to the game.Tartt injured his shoulder and was replaced by Antone Exum. Tartt was ruled out, and the 49ers later lost Exum to a head injury. He was replaced by Tyvis Powell.George Kittle suffered an injury at one point when he took a huge hit, but returned the next series.Up next: vs. Oakland Raiders (TNF)The final Battle of the Bay Area gets to go under the lights. And given that it’s not Sunday evening, it could not be flexed out! The Raiders dropped to 1-6 following their 42-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. I’m sure the NFL is thrilled about this matchup. |
