  • 49ers' Trent Williams: Placed on injured reserve

    The 49ers placed Williams (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday. Williams had missed San Francisco's past four games with a left ankle injury, and now that the 49ers have been eliminated from playoff contention, he'll be shut down for the final two contests. Spencer Burford is nursing a calf injury, but he would presumably start at left tackle Monday against the Lions if he's able to play.

  • 49ers' Trent Williams: Out for season

    49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Williams (ankle) is out for the season, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Williams has been sidelined since Week 12 with an ankle injury, and he'll remain sidelined for the final two games of the season. The star left tackle's recovery has been slower than expected according to earlier reports from Shanahan, and the team's elimination from the playoffs likely meant they weren't going to rush him back. Jaylon Moore is set to finish out the season in place of Williams after already filling in for him the last four games.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated last week that the All-Pro left tackle's recovery has been slower than the team originally expected, and it's unclear when Williams may be able to return this season, if at all.

  • 49ers' Trent Williams: Continues holdout

    Williams plans to continue his holdout until his contract is addressed, putting his Week 1 availability into question, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Williams has accrued non-rescindable $50,000 fines for each missed day of training camp. Plus, he'll be docked a game check for each of the three preseason contests his holdout covered. He presumably expects to make up that money and then some upon reaching an agreement with the 49ers, after fellow offensive tackles Tristan Wirfs and Penei Sewell reached $28 million per year on their respective contracts this offseason. Williams has three years remaining on a six-year, $138 million contract ($23m AAV) and is scheduled for a $20.5 million base salary in 2024 and $22.5 million in 2025.

  • 49ers' Trent Williams: Estimated as limited Wednesday

    Williams (groin) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walk-through. Though Williams' designation as limited is an estimation because the 49ers held a walk-through Wednesday, it nonetheless qualifies as positive news after he suffered a groin injury that required an MRI on Monday versus Baltimore. The left tackle's practice level over the remaining two days of Week 17 prep should give further clarity to his status moving forward, but it appears for now that he's dodged a serious injury. It goes without saying that San Francisco would be meaningfully impacted if Williams were to miss any time given that he is considered one of the NFL's top offensive linemen.
