San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward is unsure of his return to the Bay Area. But it’s not for the reason you think.

At a press gaggle in the 49ers locker room Monday, Ward said this year has been the worst of his career. He pointed to the loss of his daughter, Amani Joy, who passed away in October at just a year old after battling Down Syndrome and a heart condition. Ward also revealed that he nearly lost his son, Charvarius Jr., early in the pregnancy. He explained that since both these things happened in California, simply being in the state is painful for him.
