49ers Have 'High Level of Confidence' in ex-1st Rounder Returning in Week 5
The San Francisco 49ers reportedly have a lot of confidence that 2025 first round pick Mykel Williams, will return in Week 5.
San Francisco 49ers head coach has expressed high confidence that former first-round draft pick, defensive end Mykel Williams, will be healthy and ready to play in their Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to a report by CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. Williams had been sidelined since tearing his ACL in November 2025, but sources indicate that his status may be changing soon.
The 49ers have been dealing with a series of injuries, including starters Mike Evans and Dre Greenlaw, defensive end Keion White, who has been battling a hamstring injury, and third-round rookie Romello Height. With Nick Bosa also sidelined due to a knee/calf injury, the defensive position has been particularly affected, with veteran Ogbo Okoronkwo and practice squad additions Matthew Judon and Sebastian Valdez potentially stepping in.
