This is the CLUB'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENT, not a reading of ours. His club filed him on the injury report and we are restating it so the record is complete. There is nothing early about repeating an announcement — what we say ahead of one is on the week's page.

Shape of the week: —. Only rows the publisher dated are here; a row we could not date is excluded until the nightly sweep stamps it. No measured play rate exists for most of these patterns, so the shape is a fact and not a forecast.

P1 frames Williams as a player whose 21-day practice window has only just opened off injured reserve — 'expecting Mykel Williams to return as soon as he's eligible after opening practice window' — which is a different situation from an ordinary limited-practice veteran, and the model's 74% knee/DE baseline plus practice-line cell is built on the latter. The same club-sourced report points to a later return, 'The Niners could have their former first round pick back next week' (P1), implying he is not expected to suit up for the immediately upcoming game, and his limited participation is consistent with ramp-up work rather than game readiness. The passage is a single dated report and does not tell us the current week's designation or whether he has been activated to the active roster, so the direction is clear but the timing is not settled. It would need to know: Whether Williams has actually been activated from IR to the 53-man roster (transaction date); The 49ers' official practice participation reports (Wed/Thu/Fri) for the current game week and his Friday game-status designation; A Kyle Shanahan remark naming whether Williams plays this Sunday or waits another week; The date of the upcoming 49ers game relative to the Oct 1 window opening, to see whether 'next week' is this game or the following one; Confirmation that the 'Limited Participation' line reflects a regular practice report and not merely IR-window return-to-practice work

The model reads the room: who else is out shifts what his own designation is worth.
