The San Francisco 49ers have made a late change to their injury report ahead of their final home game of the season.
All-Pro cornerback Charvarius Ward was initially listed as questionable for Monday's Week 17 matchup with the Detroit Lions because of a personal matter.
On Sunday, the 49ers downgraded Ward to out.
Asked about whether it was good news for Ward, head coach Kyle Shanahan told his Saturday press conference: "Stuff I can’t totally share. I haven’t talked to him about it, so we’ll keep it personal. But, nothing bad happened."
Per NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan, Ward was not with the team this weekend because his wife was expecting the arrival of a baby boy.
Ward missed three games in November following the tragic death of his one-year-old daughter Amani Joy.
The former Kansas City Chiefs corner, who signed with the 49ers in 2022, is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Kyle Shanahan explains why unprecedented 49ers O-Line turnover might not be as bad as it seems
His experience could prove beneficial.
