49ers' Trent Williams Expected to Play Against Jaguars Despite Ankle Injury

Not fully recovered, Williams' return to the field seen as an emotional boost for the team

  • San Francisco 49ers' left tackle Trent Williams, who has been dealing with a right ankle sprain, is expected to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite not being fully recovered.
  • Williams, a 10-time Pro Bowler, initially sustained the injury in the Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns and has not played since.
  • Although listed as questionable, Williams returned to practice on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday, indicating his intent to play in the upcoming game.
  • 49ers' performance has notably declined in Williams' absence, losing three matchups after winning their first five games of the season.
  • If Williams is unable to play, the 49ers will likely turn to Jaylon Moore, who has started the last two games in Williams' absence, to protect the quarterback's blindside.
