Will play Saturday Willis (ankle) is active for Saturday against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Willis suffered a high-ankle injury in the 49ers' win over the Cowboys on Sunday and started the week being unable to participate in practice.

Questionable for divisional-round Willis (ankle) is questionable to play in Saturday night's divisional-round matchup versus the Packers.

Impact Willis picked up a high-ankle injury during the 49ers' wild-card win over the Cowboys, opening the week as a non-participant at Tuesday's practice. The defensive lineman was able to log limited efforts at practice Wednesday and Thursday, opening the door to be available for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Packers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that Willis has a chance to play this weekend because the injury is more of an aggravation of an old one rather than a new sprain, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
