Seahawks Center Williams Retires Amid 49ers Game

The San Francisco 49ers are optimistic that offensive tackle Trent Williams will play against the Seattle Seahawks despite an ankle injury that kept him from practicing all week. Williams plans to test his ankle during pregame warmups and will be evaluated before the game to ensure he is fit to play. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks are facing a significant challenge as their starting center, Connor Williams, abruptly retired for personal reasons, leaving the team's offensive line even more vulnerable. Second-year player Olu Oluwatimi is expected to fill the center position, though the Seahawks' offensive line has already been struggling this season. This development could benefit the 49ers' defensive line, which has underperformed this season.
