Overview
- Trent Williams was carted off to the locker room in the third quarter Sunday and the 49ers listed him as questionable to return with a stinger.
- Multiple NFL reporters corroborated the cart-off and stinger diagnosis while the team provided the official questionable designation.
- Vederian Lowe moved into the left tackle spot to open the next drive, forcing an immediate in-game personnel adjustment on the 49ers' line.
- Williams is a 38-year-old All‑Pro who signed a four‑year, $103 million extension in April and serves as the primary protector of Brock Purdy’s blind side.
- The club has not released imaging or a long-term prognosis and further evaluation will determine whether the transient stinger becomes an extended absence that alters blocking continuity and game plans.
