According to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran left tackle has been unable to practice all week and will now miss his fourth-straight contest. As a result, Jaylon Moore will get the start once again. The 49ers could also be without running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) which could hinder their overall output on Thursday. In addition, with a potentially depleted running game, fantasy managers should expect Brock Purdy to see an increase in passing attempts, which could set up his pass catchers for productive showings, especially facing a Los Angeles secondary that has allowed the 11th-most PPR points to opposing WRs.
Trent Williams Ruled Out, Nick Bosa Doubtful For Week 14
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle, personal) has officially been ruled out for the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, while defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique) is considered doubtful to play. Williams will miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury, and he's also been grieving the loss of his son, so it's unclear when the All-Pro left tackle will actually return. The Niners next play next Thursday night in a divisional battle against the Los Angeles Rams. It's bad news for a Niners offense that will be without running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) for the rest of the season, and possibly Jordan Mason (ankle) as well. Meanwhile, Bosa is likely to miss his third straight game. The 27-year-old hasn't practiced since getting injured in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite Bosa's absence, the Niners defense/special teams is stream-worthy against a banged-up Bears offense.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Monday that All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle, personal), who has missed the last couple of games due to a left-ankle injury, spent much of last week grieving the loss of his son. Williams and his wife, Sondra, had a son, Trenton Jr., who was stillborn on Nov. 24. Cornerback Charvarius Ward and his wife also lost their one-year-old daughter due to heart problems this year, with Ward sitting out three games as a result. "He's been dealing with that and he's working through it. We're all just trying to be here for him through it all," Shanahan said about Williams. The 36-year-old is uncertain to play in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. After a Super Bowl appearance last year, the Niners just have never found their stride in 2024 and have dealt with injuries to key players, most notably running back Christian McCaffrey (knee).
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable and will ultimately miss his first game of the 2024 season. San Francisco finds itself heavily shorthanded against Green Bay with Williams joining Brock Purdy (shoulder) and Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) on the 49ers' list of inactive players. Jaylon Moore will likely start at left tackle in Williams' absence.
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Williams has sat out practice all week but is still expected to suit up this weekend. The organization is hopeful that Williams can work through his ankle soreness during pregame warmups. The loss of Williams would be another blow to an already banged up 49ers roster. Jaylon Moore is listed as second on the depth chart, so he figures to start if Williams is unable to play.
The San Francisco 49ers will be without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and they could also be without starting left tackle Trent Williams (ankle), as he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Williams played through the ankle injury in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks and was pretty sore following the game. The 36-year-old has yet to miss a game in 2024, but the Niners may be forced to sit him out to let his ankle heal heading into next week's showdown against the Buffalo Bills. The Niners' offense will already be facing a serious downgrade with Brandon Allen starting under center, and things could get worse if they don't have Williams at left tackle. The Packers' defense/special teams unit will be a sneaky streaming option this weekend.
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Williams has been receiving rest days for much of the season and his ankle has been bothering him for a while. However, the 49ers generally list Williams with his injury and as resting so his situation is worth monitoring moving forward. Williams is a rare non-skill position player that has a lot of fantasy relevance. Williams is simply a huge piece of the 49ers' offense. When he is in the lineup, both the running and passing games click. When Williams is forced to miss time, this offense tends to struggle mightily. Luckily, Williams has not missed a game this season and his appearance on the injury report could just be rest related once again. Williams also did not practice for all of last week and still played on Sunday. As such, fantasy managers will just need to check back throughout the week and see if there is any news out of San Francisco that suggests Williams will not be able to go this week.
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is dealing with some soreness following Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Williams was uncertain coming into Sunday's contest due to a lingering ankle issue. However, the All-Pro tackle battled through the pain and suit up over the weekend. He was able to get through the contest, but Williams is now reportedly dealing with soreness in his ankle. This is something the team will likely continue to monitor and might even limit him in practice this week. Williams has played in all 10 games this season and is a significant part to this offense, so hopefully he won't be forced to miss any time.
San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle) should be ready to suit up for the Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Williams missed practice on Friday due to the ankle issue, but the team believes he should play on Sunday. The 49ers are likely going to wait and see how Williams feels pre-game before making a final decision. The absence of the Pro-Bowl left tackle would be a significant hit to this 49ers offense. Jaylon Moore is listed as second the depth chart, so he'd likely get the start if Williams is unable to play.
Trent Williams Expected To Suit Up Versus Patriots
San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (illness, toe) is "likely" to play in Week 4 versus the New England Patriots, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Williams will still undergo pregame testing to ensure he's good to go, but it sounds like he's trending in the right direction. San Francisco would benefit from having Williams on the field in a huge way. He's widely regarded as the NFL's best offensive lineman, setting up numerous opportunities for Brock Purdy, Jordan Mason, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel Sr., Brandon Aiyuk, and others to make plays. A healthy Williams truly does bump Purdy and Mason up a spot or two in the weekly fantasy football rankings.
