49ers worried about a torn ACL for Mykel Williams
Our Summary
The San Francisco 49ers are facing another potential setback on their defense with a possible torn ACL injury to rookie defensive end Mykel Williams. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed concerns following Sunday's 34-24 victory over the New York Giants. The team anticipates more details on Williams' condition by Monday. This injury follows the season-ending torn ACL suffered by Nick Bosa, with the team already short-handed as defensive ends Bryce Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos were unavailable for the game. Clelin Ferrell made a significant impact with a sack in his return, but the defensive line faces depth challenges if Williams' injury is confirmed. Williams, a first-round draft pick, has recorded 19 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble this season.
