SANTA CLARA, Calif.

Bosa hurt his hamstring during practice on Tuesday.Ward had been working with the starters at free safety this offseason after signing a one-year contract with $3 million guaranteed and $1.5 million in roster bonuses in free agency. Ward was picked in the first round in 2014 but has played only 51 games in five seasons Foster Moreau Jersey , ending four of them on injured reserve with broken bones.
