"During the brief media window, Williams went through warmups with his teammates, then left for the field house/weight area when the offensive lineman began going through drills with line coach Chris Foerster. Williams re-emerged from the field house and was running lightly on the side with a member of the training staff watching closely. Also taking it slow was White (groin, hamstring) who did not participate Thursday."
"While backup Austin Pleasants fared well at left tackle in an emergency role against the Bears, he had a much rougher time against the Seahawks. The 49ers gained just 179 yards of total offense and their point total was the lowest since Shanahan's debut, a 23-3 loss to Carolina in Week 1 in 2017. Noticeably absent in the 49ers running game without Williams was getting to the edge on outside corner runs."
The 49ers listed Trent Williams, Ricky Pearsall Jr., Luke Gifford (ankle), Keion White (groin/hamstring), Dee Winters (ankle), Jacob Cowing (hamstring) and Renardo Green as questionable before departing for Philadelphia. Williams warmed up, left for the field house during positional drills, then re-emerged running lightly under trainer supervision. Pearsall, Winters, White and Gifford did not participate in Friday's media window. Backup Austin Pleasants showed mixed performance at left tackle, performing better against Chicago than Seattle. The team gained just 179 total yards and scored its fewest points since 2017 without Williams, with diminished edge runs. Williams' availability correlates strongly with team record and scoring.
