The 49ers placed Williams (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday. Williams had missed San Francisco's past four games with a left ankle injury, and now that the 49ers have been eliminated from playoff contention, he'll be shut down for the final two contests.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Williams (ankle) is out for the season, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Williams has been sidelined since Week 12 with an ankle injury, and he'll now not return for the final two games of the season for San Francisco. The star left tackle's recovery has been slower than expected according to earlier reports from Shanahan, and the team's elimination from the playoffs likely meant they weren't gonna rush him back. Jaylon Moore is set to finish out the season in place of Williams as he has in the past four weeks.
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Miami, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Williams' upcoming absence doesn't come as a surprise, as he remains unable to practice. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated last week that the All-Pro left tackle's recovery has been slower than the team originally expected, and it's unclear when Williams may be able to return this season, if at all. Jaylon Moore started each of the past four weeks while Williams has been sidelined and presumably will do so again Sunday.

Williams has now missed each of San Francisco's last four games, and Jaylon Moore is likely to continue protecting Brock Purdy's blindside until Williams has recovered.
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Willims (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
