The San Francisco 49ers have hopefully avoided another modest bullet on Thursday. Safety Terrell Williams suffered a knee injury during Thursday’s joint practice session after going down on concrete outside the field following a one-on-one drill. Kyle Shanahan did not know the severity of the injury, but William was seen walking around and told Matt Maiocco he is fine.
Williams has been further down the safety depth chart, but last week he might have earned a little more work. Pro Football Focus gave him their top grade on the 49ers roster. He had a pair of pass breakups on two targets, and had a quarterback hurry on one blitz attempt.
