Ward (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Ward will miss a second straight game due to the recent passing of his one-year-old daughter. It's unclear how long he'll be away from the team, but Ward's next chance at playing will be Week 12 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 24. In Ward's absence, Renardo Green will step up as the second starting corner alongside Isaac Yiadom.

Ward (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday. Ward was also seen practicing in Monday's bonus practice, so it appears the cornerback is back to near-full health after missing Week 6 due to a knee injury. He's had a good amount of time to recover because that game against the Seahawks was on a Thursday, and at this point it seems Ward will be ready to return Sunday against Kansas City. In the five contests in which he's played, Ward has tallied 22 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses.

Ward is considered day-to-day with a knee injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Ward didn't play in San Francisco's Week 6 win over the Seahawks after sustaining a knee injury the week prior, but it appears a return to the field could be on the horizon. The seventh-year pro's participation in practice next week will provide the best indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the 49ers host the Chiefs.

Ward (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Ward bruised his knee during the 49ers' 24-23 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. He was listed as a DNP in Monday's estimated practice report, but he managed to see the field during Tuesday's session. Barring any setbacks, Ward should be good to go for Thursday's NFC West clash against Seattle.

Ward logged nine tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection during San Francisco's 27-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday. Ward was dealing with hamstring and knee injuries throughout last week but ended up having a big game regardless, as he led the 49ers in tackles. Throughout the first three games of the season, the 28-year-old has now amassed 13 tackles (nine solo) and three pass deflections.
