Trent Williams' Status Uncertain After DNP as 49ers Prepare for Seahawks With No. 1 Seed at Stake

A short-week walkthrough schedule leaves final availability to later practice designations.

Overview

  • Left tackle Trent Williams did not practice Tuesday with a hamstring injury, and Kyle Shanahan said he still has a shot to play this week.
  • Austen Pleasants is the immediate option at left tackle after replacing Williams against the Bears, drawing praise from Shanahan for a solid performance.
  • Christian McCaffrey sat out with back stiffness that he described as not serious.
  • George Kittle was limited with an ankle sprain, and Shanahan cautioned that limited work does not guarantee he will suit up.
  • Saturday’s game against Seattle will decide the NFC’s No. 1 seed, including a first-round bye and home-field advantage, with preparations confined to light sessions.
