Williams Out, 49ers Adjust Defense | NFL News

The 49ers take a major hit as first-round pick Mykel Williams is sidelined indefinitely with an ACL injury, missing at least the first four games. With Nick Bosa also recovering from his own ACL tear, the team’s pass rush faces a critical shortage—especially ahead of their tough matchup against Aaron Donald and the Rams. Fans had high hopes for Williams’ explosive potential alongside Bosa, but now the defense must rely on Sam Okuayinou, Keion White, and Romello Height to fill the void. The 49ers’ resilience will be tested early, but the focus remains on getting Williams healthy and back on the field by October.
