49ers’ CB Ward optimistic he’ll be ready for training camp
Ward, a 2014 first-round pick, re-broke his foot in a win against the Saints on Nov. 9 when a titanium screw that was inserted in March 2014 bent during the game. Ward, 23, suffered his first Jones fracture (fifth metatarsal) before he was drafted. It was discovered during a medical check at the combine and he subsequently underwent surgery.
