Trent Williams has not played in a game since October 15, when he suffered an ankle injury against the Cleveland Browns. It’s been nearly a month since the 49ers had their All-Pro left tackle.
San Francisco’s head coach Kyle Shanahan not so subtly hinted at Williams’ ankle injury being more severe than the original diagnosis of a low-ankle sprain on Wednesday. Add in the other ankle injuries Williams has sustained during his career, and that’s why he’s been out for multiple games.
Williams appears to be trending in the right direction.
