The San Francisco 49ers have had one of the more disappointing seasons among all teams based on high expectations. After making it to the Super Bowl last season, it’s looking more likely as the weeks go on that they will not even make the postseason this year. San Francisco’s struggles have been largely due to the amount of injuries to key players, and now another superstar is likely done for the year.
San Francisco 49ers Star Likely Out For The Season
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Wednesday that star left tackle Trent Williams may not play again this season due to an ankle injury. Shanahan was asked if Williams would return to playing this season, and he told reporters, “I mean, if he gets back to healthy, we’d play him. But it’s not like that right now. So it’s getting closer to being that way.”

Trent Williams
Williams has been in the league since 2010 and has been considered the league’s most dominant tackle, not just in recent history, but one of the best of all time. He came to the 49ers in 2020 after he was traded by the Washington Commanders. He has only allowed one sack this season and is listed as one of the highest-graded tackles in the NFL.
With another key injury weighing down on the 49ers, it’s looking more like the team will not make the playoffs or will not make it very far if they can somehow turn things around. There is still a possibility for them to make it, but they would need to win out and have help from several other teams.
