Williams, a 21-year-old first-round pick from Florida State, played end and tackle, excelling as a run defender but showing limited pass-rush production with one sack and one fumble recovery. The 49ers already lost Nick Bosa and Fred Warner for the season and added Keion White and Clelin Ferrell. The team hopes Bryce Huff returns for Week 10 while the NFL trade deadline looms.
