49ers' Jimmie Ward: Best season of career
Ward wrapped up 77 tackles (51 solo) with six pass defenses, two interceptions and a touchdown across 16 games with the 49ers in 2021.
Ward has always been a skilled free safety, but he managed to finally combine his strong play with a healthy regular season. Barring any drastic roster changes this offseason, the 30-year-old should enter the final year of his contract in San Francisco as the team's starting free safety in 2022.

Ward (quadriceps) will not play Sunday against Arizona, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ward picked up the injury Sunday against the Bears, but it was originally thought he might be able to play in Week 9. This is a big blow to a 49ers secondary that is already missing multiple pieces. Tavon Wilson will likely see a large increase in snaps while Ward is on the shelf.
