Charvarius Ward Undergoes Surgery

Charvarius Ward Undergoes Surgery

9 months ago

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward (undisclosed) announced on his Instagram account that he had successful surgery for an undisclosed injury. In the overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, Ward wasn't targeted at all while playing 55 defensive snaps. The 27-year-old was a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career in 2023, recording 72 tackles (56 solo), a career-high five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), a league-high 23 passes defensed and one forced fumble in 17 starts during the regular season in his second year with the Niners. His strong season becomes even more impressive based on the fact that he was likely playing most of it at less than 100 percent. We won't know whether he'll be available for the offseason program until we know what kind of surgery Ward had.
