The San Francisco 49ers got some good news on Sunday about the status of their All-Pro tackle,
Trent Williams. Williams was seen using crutches after Saturday night's game against the Green Bay Packers, putting his status for next weekend's NFC Championship Game into question.
"We're going to have to get some X-rays and stuff on him," head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the 49ers' 13-10 victory. "I mean, I saw him hobbling around the whole second half,
so I'm not sure yet."
Williams got his right ankle wrapped after looking to be in pain in the third quarter. He stayed in the game but was later seen limping off the field. Williams played 53 of the 49ers' 54 offensive snaps against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that the
X-rays returned negative.
"Those X-rays did not show any fracture, according to the source," wrote Maiocco.
We'll see how cautious the 49ers are with Williams during the upcoming week of practices. The team will travel to play the winner of Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which is tied 27-27, as of this post.
Update: The Rams won 30-27. That means the 49ers will travel to SoFi Stadium for the second time this season.

Steelers are reportedly still pursuing 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk
According to NFL Insider, Benjamin Allbright, the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to trade for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, to add him as a weapon for QB Russell Wilson. The Steelers added Wilson earlier this offseason after the Denver Broncos decided to move on from him. Aiyuk, if paired with Steelers WR George Pickens, would give Wilson two dangerous threats in the passing game.
