Seahawks Say Leonard Williams' Ankle Appears Not Serious

The team will monitor him through the midweek injury-report cycle to determine if he will be available for Seattle’s Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Overview

  • Leonard Williams left late in Seattle’s 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers after an ankle injury on a Justin Herbert goal-line run and did not return to the game.
  • Trainers evaluated Williams on the field, he entered the blue medical tent and was listed as questionable before finishing the game on the sideline.
  • Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the injury "does not appear to be serious," but he cautioned that further testing and practice availability are still unclear.
  • Williams was seen on the sideline after the evaluation, a sign that could bode well for his short-term status, though the team will make a determination during Wednesday’s initial injury report.
  • Williams is a veteran interior lineman whose presence matters to Seattle’s run defense and pass rush, so his midweek status could affect the team’s preparation for the NFC West matchup with the undefeated 49ers.
