Overview
- The 49ers activated defensive lineman Mykel Williams on Saturday to make his 2026 season debut against the Seattle Seahawks.
- San Francisco released veteran Ogbo Okoronkwo to open a roster spot, then re-signed and elevated him from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.
- The team also elevated tight end Jack Stoll to help replace injured fullback Kyle Juszczyk and later released veteran Matt Judon as pass-rush needs eased.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan said Williams “is totally healthy” but expects some rust after the ACL and meniscus surgery that ended his rookie season.
- Williams’ return ends a long rehab that began after a Nov. 2, 2025 ACL tear and gives the 49ers a near-term boost up front while the club manages multiple linemen and skill-player injuries.
