Charvarius Ward has a muscle strain and will miss a couple of weeks

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was on KNBR Wednesday morning talking about the plan for the preseason and injury updates.

The big one is cornerback Charvarius Ward, who will miss a couple of weeks due to a muscle strain. So if I’m the 49ers, I’m shutting Ward down until Week 1, along with Emmanuel Moseley.

I know what I have in those two, let the first and second-year cornerbacks get much-needed reps during the preseason while the starters heal.

Shanahan said right tackle Mike McGlinchey will play “a little bit.” I’d expect to see the 49ers' offense get 15-20 plays, depending on the success of each drive.
