49ers Hope Trent Williams Practices After Bye

49ers Hope Trent Williams Practices After Bye

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced on Monday that he hopes offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle) can return to practice following the team's Week 9 bye, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. Williams has been out of action for the prior two outings after suffering an ankle injury during Week 6's 19-17 road loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 10-time Pro Bowler's practice status will be one to watch leading into Week 10's battle with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and his return could provide a spark for the Niners' sudden three-game tailspin. Williams is an integral component of San Fran's running game and protecting Brock Purdy's blindside, so both the ground and air attacks will get a boost when the two-time All-Pro returns.
