Despite missing an entire week of practice with an ankle injury, Trent Williams most likely will play today against the Seattle Seahawks according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"San Francisco is more hopeful and optimistic that Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams will be able to make it back from his ankle injury that prevented him from practicing Friday, according to sources,". "Williams believes he can play against the Seahawks, but the 49ers still will evaluate him pregame to make sure he feels well enough to play."
Williams injured his ankle last Sunday against the Buccaneers but never left the game, so the pain must have set in a couple days later. He couldn't practice even in a limited capacity all week, but he hung out in the locker room and shuffled around slowly, clearly favoring his injured ankle. Still, he could walk. In retrospect, he was showing his teammates and the media that he intended to play.
It's unclear how healthy Williams will be. It's possible the trainers will tape up his ankle and it won't affect him. It's also possible it will prevent him from running downfield to make blocks. Plus it could knock him out of the game early if it gets aggravated. If Williams were to leave the game, his backup would be Jaylon Moore. The last time Williams went down and Moore replaced him, the 49ers lost two games in a row. That was last season.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat where he wrote the Inside the 49ers blog and covered famous coaches and athletes such as Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Willis.
