Ward's (collarbone) fifth-year option was exercised by the 49ers on Monday.
Ward's fifth-year option keeps him under contract with San Francisco through the 2018 season. A former cornerback, Ward is expected to convert to safety for the 2017 season. He had 53 tackles and 12 passes defensed while playing in 11 games in 2016.
Fusco signed a contract with the 49ers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fusco was released by the Vikings in February after spending the first six seasons of his career with Minnesota. The veteran guard has started 63 games in his career and will add depth to San Francisco's offensive line in 2017.
With the 49ers opting not to draft a top-end safety in the draft, Ward (collarbone) will move to free safety in 2017, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ward -- who was drafted as a safety in 2014 -- has been playing both the nickel and cornerback positions with the 49ers over the past three seasons. With Kyle Shanahan bringing in a new 4-3 defense based off of the scheme that the Seattle Seahawks run, the 25-year-old will fill a coverage safety role similar to Earl Thomas. San Francisco is expected to pick up Ward's fifth-year rookie option, and having him listed as a safety would save the team roughly $2.5 million in cap space. If he does indeed stick at safety this season, he could see an uptick in tackles, providing a boost to his IDP value.
The 49ers selected Colbert in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 229th overall.
San Francisco lost Antoine Bethea in free agency, and even though the 49ers had a replacement waiting in the wings, it's still a shrewd move for them to add depth at safety. Colbert brings physicality to a 49ers defense that already has heavy hitters such as Jaquiski Tartt and Eric Reid.
