K'WAUN WILLIAMS NEWS

Set to undergo MRI Williams will get an MRI on his knee, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Williams pulled up while running in coverage with an apparent non-contact injury during Saturday's practice. The cornerback was then evaluated by members of the Broncos' training staff, but he was able to walk to the locker room under his own power later on. If Williams is forced to miss time during training camp due to a potential injury, then backups Damarri Mathis and Blessaun Austin should see more reps in coverage as a result.

Impact Williams has played a large role in the 49ers' secondary, so any potential absence in Week 18 against the Rams would be a blow to the defense. He still has plenty of time to clear protocols however, if he were to miss, Deommodore Lenoir would likely be looking at extra opportunity Sunday.

Won't play Week 4 Williams (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Josh Norman (chest) is also doubtful for Sunday, so the 49ers will need all hands on deck. Deommodore Lenoir and Emmanuel Moseley played the majority of snaps at the outside corner positions during Week 3, but Dre Kirkpatrick -- a healthy scratch against the Packers -- could play a role in Week 4. Buster Skrine and Dontae Johnson will also likely be worked in at nickel corner in Williams' absence.

Dealing with calf strain Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Williams has a calf strain and will be out for a while, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams left Sunday night's matchup in the first quarter with the injury and was unable to return. Josh Norman (chest) was also injured during the contest, which left the 49ers' cornerback group thin, as Dre Kirkpatrick (coach's decision) and Ambry Thomas (coach's decision) were both already inactive. Deommodore Lenoir and Emmanuel Moseley played the majority of snaps against the Packers, but San Francisco may elect to switch things up in Week 4 with so many injuries to its secondary.
