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.
