How it unfolded
- Oct 14, 2026Williams played 23 snaps in his season debut, a Week 5 division win over the Seahawks, recording zero sacks, zero QB hits and one pressure with a PFF grade of 50.4, the lowest on the defense.
- Oct 16, 2026Head coach Kyle Shanahan said roughly 23 snaps was the goal and that Williams "did a real good job" with no bad plays in his first game back; Matt Maiocco listed Williams (knee) as limited in practice.
- Oct 17, 2026Williams was limited in practice again on Friday and was listed questionable for Monday night's game against the Commanders, with his Saturday practice to be monitored.
