The San Francisco 49ers welcomed defensive back Jimmie Ward back to team drills on Tuesday, marking his first such work this offseason. Ward spent the offseason workout program and the first two and a half weeks of training camp getting back to 100 percent following foot surgery last fall. He was doing individual work through the weekend, but is back in team drills at defensive back.
Ward met with the media on Wednesday and had a chance to go into some detail about a new device he is using to help protect his foot.
