Trent Williams Avoids High-Ankle Sprain
Trent Williams Avoids High-Ankle Sprain
one year ago
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 49ers are listing Williams as day-to-day heading into the Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. The 35-year-old veteran had his ankle rolled up on in Sunday's game, but he later returned with his ankle heavily wrapped. His injury isn't serious, but it doesn't mean that he won't be in danger of missing the game against Minnesota. Losing Williams for any amount of time would be bad news for quarterback Brock Purdy and the Niners offense, who might also be without running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique, ribs) and receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) in Week 7.
