"Left tackle Trent Williams still might play in the 49ers' regular-season finale Saturday night against Seattle. And he might not. We'll see, Williams said Friday after not practicing all week because of the first hamstring strain of his illustrious career. The NFC's No. 1 playoff seed will be on the line at Levi's Stadium, and no 49ers got ruled out on the injury report."
"It's definitely huge to have everybody on board that's capable, coach Kyle Shanahan said. Shanahan is viewing this as a playoff-type game since a win could deliver a bye in next week's wild-card round. So, to him, the stakes are big and potentially worth risking a worse injury to Williams, a 12-time Pro Bowler. If Trent and the doctors OK it, and Trent believes he can get through it, then there's no decision on my part and I'll definitely have him up, Shanahan said."
Left tackle Trent Williams did not practice all week with the first hamstring strain of his career and remains questionable for the 49ers' regular-season finale against Seattle. The NFC's No. 1 seed is at stake, and no player was ruled out on the injury report; George Kittle, Ricky Pearsall, Keion White and Upton Stout are also listed questionable. Coach Kyle Shanahan calls the game playoff-type and will defer to Williams and team doctors on availability. If Williams is inactive, Austen Pleasants would likely start. Christian McCaffrey and Kyle Juszczyk are fully expected to play.
