Should be ready for training camp 49ers GM John Lynch said Sunday that Williams (knee) is expected to be back for training camp, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Williams tore the ACL and lateral meniscus in his right knee during the 49ers' Week 9 win over the Giants. Lynch acknowledged that the 2025 first-round pick might take longer than fellow defensive end Nick Bosa, who tore his ACL about 1.5 months earlier in late September. Williams tallied 20 tackles and a sack over nine games as a rookie.

Likely ready for 2026 Williams (knee) told reporters Tuesday that he "should" be ready to return for the beginning of training camp, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams missed the final 10 games of San Francisco's season after tearing his ACL during the Week 9 win over the Giants. The 2025 first-round pick from Georgia played a minimal role on the 49ers' defense when healthy, recording 20 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 383 defensive snaps. Once Williams returns to full health, he'll likely start opposite Nick Bosa (knee) on San Francisco's defensive line.
