Trent Williams in Week 18 vs. Seahawks as San Francisco fights for the NFC West title and No. 1 playoff seed at Levi's Stadium.

Adam Schefter shared updates on Trent Williams’ hamstring and George Kittle’s ankle ahead of 49ers-Seahawks on Saturday night with the No. 1 seed at stake.

One area in which the backup-heavy 49ers struggled early in the season was the run game. McCaffrey averaged fewer than three yards per carry through the first few weeks and couldn’t break any big gains. The offense had to lean on him as a pass catcher, not as a runner.

Trent Williams, Darnell Washington and Geno Smith were among the NFL players injured in Week 17. Injured players will be evaluated this week.

Left tackle Austen Pleasants filled in admirably for Trent Williams and may need to do it against Seattle as well.

But it’s not all good news for the 49ers. Left tackle Trent Williams was shaken up on the first play from scrimmage — Purdy’s pick-six — and is questionable to return with a hamstring injury. Austen Pleasants came in to replace him.

As the San Francisco 49ers push toward the final stretch of the season, veteran left tackle Trent Williams has made one thing clear: this year’s Super Bowl opportunity carries real weight. With Super Bowl LX looming, Williams believes the work being done now, especially up front, can define the team’s legacy.

The move would be to give him a bit of a front-loaded extension. Williams would get a raise and would get cash immediately due to the signing bonus. He would also be signed for 2026 and 2027. Yes, it puts the 49ers on the books for a potential 39-year old left tackle, but it drops the 2026 cap hit down significantly.
