49ers Hope Trent Williams Practices After Bye

2 years 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.
