Should be ready for training camp
San Francisco GM John Lynch said Sunday that Williams (knee) is expected to be back for training camp, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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, to recover. Williams tallied 20 tackles and 1.0 sacks over nine games as a rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Standing out at OTAs
Williams, whom the 49ers selected out of Georgia with the 11th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has been impressing at OTAs, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The standout edge rusher has been displaying "explosiveness and power" during defensive-line drills, per Pallares. Williams, who recorded 23 tackles for loss, including 14.0 sacks, during his three-year college career, is projected for a prominent role along a 49ers defensive front that also includes Nick Bosa and will be under the tutelage of coordinator Robert Saleh, who was instrumental in San Francisco's defensive success earlier in the decade.
