The San Francisco 49ers are playing the Washington Commanders at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The team entered the game without quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), defensive lineman Kevin Givens (knee), defensive lineman Kerry Hyder (ankle), and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ankle, knee). All four were among San Francisco's seven inactive players.
Below are the 49ers-related in-game injury updates.
CB Charvarius Ward (nausea, returned)
Medical personnel examined Charvarius Ward in the medical tent in the third quarter. Later, the cornerback left for the locker room. Ward spent the week in the concussion protocol and was limited during practices.
The CBS broadcast announced that Ward is "questionable" to return due to a concussion. Against the Seahawks, the 49ers held the cornerback out after he was cleared to return from a concussion. The next day, he reported to the team exhibiting concussion symptoms and was placed in the concussion protocol.
Update: Ward returned to the game in the fourth quarter with the 49ers leading 27-14. The 49ers announced that the cornerback was suffering from "nausea."
