49ers' Trent Williams: Gets next two years guaranteed
Rotowire
Williams and the 49ers agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract that guarantees the next two seasons of his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Williams' cited "security" as the No. 1 goal of his training camp holdout, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, and this restructure would seem to fit the bill. The 36-year-old left tackle called his new deal a "a win-win" scenario for both himself and San Francisco. The 11-time Pro Bowler is still playing at an elite level, and with the 49ers also having successfully retained Brandon Aiyuk after a tumultuous offseason, the key pieces of their offense will be intact heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Jets on Monday.

49ers' Trent Williams: Continues holdout
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

49ers' Trent Williams: Not expected to play
Rotowire
Williams, who's listed as questionable with an ankle injury, isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Bengals, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Williams will likely miss back-to-back games heading into the 49ers' Week 9 bye. If that's the case, Jaylon Moore is expected to start at left tackle again. However, given Williams was pushing to play versus Cincinnati, it's safe to presume he'll be close to 100 percent when San Francisco returns to action against Jacksonville on Nov. 12.

49ers' Trent Williams: In walking boot after Sunday's game
Rotowire
Williams was spotted in a walking boot on his right leg following Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns after suffering an ankle sprain during the contest, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The injury briefly forced Williams to the sideline before he was able to check back into the game at left tackle. Williams' status should continue to be monitored heading into Week 7 action, though he'll have the benefit of an extra day of rest with the 49ers traveling to Minnesota for a Monday night game. If Williams is unable to play through the injury, Jaylon Moore will be tasked with protecting quarterback Brock Purdy's blind side.
