Mykel Williams - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Deemed day-to-day Williams is considered day-to-day due to a wrist injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams hurt his wrist in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Cardinals but was able to finish the game after initially being labeled as questionable to return. He logged 65 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps in the victory and finished with two tackles. Given that he was able to return after getting hurt, there's reason to be optimistic that Williams will be able to suit up Sunday against Jacksonville, though his level of participation in practice this week should provide better insight into whether he'll have an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Questionable to return Week 3 Williams is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a wrist injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

With Nick Bosa (knee) also questionable to return, the 49ers are down to Yetur Gross-Matos, Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu as their defensive ends.

Won't play against Raiders Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Williams is currently working through a knee injury, which also prevented him from playing in the 49ers' preseason opener against the Broncos. The injury isn't considered a serious one at this time, but the rookie first-rounder will aim to return to practice next week in order to be cleared to play in the 49ers' preseason finale against the Chargers on Saturday, Aug. 23.

Hurts knee Thursday Williams is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against Denver after exiting Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed after Thursday's practice that Williams will likely miss around a week, adding that the team hopes Williams hyper-extended his knee. Shanahan's language suggests additional tests may be needed to confirm the nature of the rookie first-round pick's knee injury. Williams dealt with an unrelated ankle injury earlier in training camp.

Dealing with minor ankle injury Williams (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick is dealing with what the 49ers are calling a "minor ankle injury," which will likely limit him to sideline work with trainers over the coming week. Williams is projected to start at defensive end opposite Nick Bosa, so his absence will open the door for Sam Okuayinonu, Bryce Huff and Jonathan Garvin to get more opportunities to work with the first-team defense during team drills.
