K'WAUN WILLIAMS NEWS

Ruled out for Sunday Williams (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams has a sprained ACL and is expected to land on IR, which would keep him out through Week 7. His absence Sunday will hurt the team's secondary depth, as Emmanuel Moseley (concussion) and Dontae Johnson (groin) are ruled out and Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) is questionable. Expect Jason Verrett and Ken Webster to start at cornerback Sunday if Witherspoon can't go.

Dealing with sprained ACL Williams was diagnosed with an ACL sprain Tuesday and is expected to be placed on IR, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Impact Williams won't require surgery and could even return after just three weeks on IR if his rehab goes as planned. It's encouraging that he avoided a severe injury, but the 49ers can't afford to lose secondary depth. Jason Verrett and Ken Webster are the only two cornerbacks who finished Sunday's loss to the Eagles healthy, although Richard Sherman (hamstring) could return from IR in Week 5 against Miami.

Hurts knee against Philly Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Williams battled a hip injury in the lead-up to this game, but it's unclear if the two injuries are linked. His absence is a major hit to a 49ers cornerback corps that's already without Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring), Richard Sherman (calf) and Emmanuel Moseley (concussion).

Ready for Sunday night Williams (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Williams has managed to progress enough in his recovery from a hip injury sustained Week 3 that he won't be forced to miss any time. Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) and Emmanuel Moseley (concussion) won't play Sunday, and Richard Sherman (hamstring) is still on IR, so Williams looks set to handle an every-down role at cornerback.

Questionable for Sunday's contest Williams (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact After starting as a non-participant Wednesday, Williams has logged two straight limited sessions and could avoid missing any time. With Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) and Emmanuel Moseley (concussion) already ruled out in addition to Richard Sherman (hamstring) still being on IR, Williams is in line for an every-down role if he can shake off the injury in time.

Held back in practice Thursday Williams (hip) was limited during Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Though Williams picked up a Week 3 start and ultimately played over 60 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps against the Giants, it was discovered after the contest that he's been beset with a hip issue. Now that Williams has proven he can field a limited workload, a full-go during Friday's session would further solidify his status for the 49ers' Week 4 matchup against Philadelphia's bottom-10 pass offense.

Dealing with hip injury Williams suffered a hip injury during Sunday's win over the Giants, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old had five tackles and one pass breakup while playing 33 of 52 defensive snaps during Sunday's victory, but coach Kyle Shanahan said he's now battling hip discomfort. Williams' outlook for Week 4 should receive additional clarity once San Francisco returns to practice Wednesday.

Back at practice Williams returned to practice after dealing with a calf strain, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Williams returned to practice after he suffered a Grade 1 calf strain in training camp in mid-August. The fact that he's back is certinly a positive sign for his availability for Week 1, however, he's not a lock to suit up. It's wroth monitoring Williams' status, as he's expected to start opposite Richard Sherman at cornerback.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss 2-to-3 weeks Williams has a Grade 1 calf strain and is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Williams is the 49ers' top slot cornerback, but he's in danger of missing Week 1. If he takes the full three weeks, he'll return to the field Sept. 8 -- just five days before the season opener versus Arizona. Jamar Taylor is expected to fill in at slot corner for the time being. It's worth keeping an eye on Williams' progress, as the 49ers' secondary has serious questions marks already, including who will start opposite Richard Sherman at right cornerback.

Absent from practice Williams did not practice Sunday due to a calf injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The severity of Williams' injury remains undisclosed, but he'll have ample time to get healthy ahead of Sept. 13's season-opener against Arizona. When healthy, the 28-year-old will be a key contributor in San Francisco's secondary as the team's top slot corner.
