Williams (illness, toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Williams didn't practice Friday after experiencing toe soreness during Thursday's practice, plus the veteran picked up an illness this week. He may not be 100 percent, but Williams will suit up and assume his usual spot at left tackle versus New England.
Williams (illness, toe) is listed as questionable but is likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Wiliams's status depends on the pain tolerance for his toe during Sunday's pregame workout.
Williams (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Williams popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP after experiencing toe soreness during Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Although he didn't participate in team drills Friday, Williams did work out with trainers before the session, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Whether Williams will play Sunday may not be known until the inactive lists are released 90 minutes before the 4:05pm ET kickoff.
The 49ers lifted Williams' roster exemption ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets. Williams had been holding out for a new contract, but after agreeing to terms with the 49ers on Tuesday, he's been added to San Francisco's active roster just in time for the team's regular-season opener Monday. Expect the All-Pro offensive lineman to protect Brock Purdy's blindside as the year progresses.
Williams seems to be in line for a normal workload in Monday's season opener against the Jets, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. San Francisco offensive line coach and run-game coordinator Chris Foerster expressed confidence Friday in Williams being able to suit up for Week 1, though he also indicated that Jaylon Moore will be ready to give the All-Pro left tackle breathers, if needed. Williams held out of training camp and didn't join the team until he and the organization agreed to a restructured contract Tuesday.
Williams and the 49ers agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract restructure that guarantees the next two seasons of his contract, which has three years remaining in total, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Williams' cited "security" as the No. 1 goal of his training camp holdout, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, saying "it's a volatile league." The 36-year-old LT called his restructured deal a "a win-win" scenario for both himself and San Francisco. The 11-time Pro Bowler is still playing at an elite level, and with the 49ers also having successfully retained WR Brandon Aiyuk after a tumultuous offseason, the key pieces of this offense remain largely intact heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Jets on Monday.
Williams agreed to modifications of his contract Tuesday, bringing an end to his lengthy holdout, Dianna Russini, Matt Barrows and David Lombardi of The Athletic report. The 11-time Pro Bowler had been away from the 49ers since the start of training camp in search of a raise to his base salary of just over $20 million for 2024, as well as additional guarantees to the money remaining on the six-year, $138 million contract extension he signed in 2021. While the exact modifications to Williams' contract aren't known, he's apparently satisfied enough with the changes to join the 49ers for the start of Week 1 prep. Assuming the 36-year-old left tackle was able to keep himself in playing shape while holding out, he should be ready to start Monday's season opener versus the Jets following a full week of practice.
Williams plans to continue his holdout until his contract is addressed, putting his Week 1 availability into question Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Williams has accrued non-rescindable $50,000 fines for each missed day of training camp, plus he'll be docked a game check for each of the three preseason games his holdout covered. He presumably expects to make up that money and then some upon reaching an agreement with the 49ers, after fellow offensive tackles Tristan Wirfs and Penei Sewell reached $28 million per year on their respective contracts this offseason. Williams has three years remaining on a six-year, $138 million contract ($23m AAV), scheduled for a $20.5 million base salary in 2024 and $22.5 million in 2025.
The 49ers placed Williams on the reserve/did not report list Thursday. Williams has officially hit the reserve/did not report list after failing to report to camp both Wednesday and Thursday. The two sides are actively working on restructuring Williams' contract, and Jaylon Moore will continue as San Francisco's top left tackle until the situation is resolved.
