The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 7 contest against the New England Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The 49ers received some better-than-expected news this week regarding Trent Williams. Scans didn't show any broken bones or even a high-ankle sprain after the veteran Pro Bowl offensive tackle suffered an injury during Sunday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams.
"So, that was good news," Shanahan told reporters, "but (he's) still in too much pain to practice today, and I know he'll be questionable throughout the week. Hopefully, it will get better each day, but it's not there
