49ers' Trent Williams Likely Out for Season

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that star left tackle Trent Williams is likely done for the season due to an ankle injury that has not healed as expected. Williams has missed the last four games, and with the 49ers (6-8) facing playoff elimination, the team must consider shutting him down to focus on recovery for next season. Shanahan expressed uncertainty about Williams' return, stating, 'If he can get back to healthy, we would play him, but it’s not like that right now.' Additionally, the 49ers are dealing with further injury challenges, as rookie running back Isaac Guerendo is also out with a hamstring injury. Other players, including linebacker Dre Greenlaw, are limited in practice due to various ailments, and the team's overall playoff hopes are dwindling. Shanahan acknowledged past mismanagement regarding Williams' injury, emphasizing the need for caution moving forward.
