Mykel Williams went down — walked off in his own but very gingerly

Hopefully he's not too injured, but probably out for the game on Saturday.

Praying Mykel's injury isn't anything serious though he's pretty much guaranteed to miss the game on Saturday and some practice time.

Stupid 95.7 twitter account made it sound the worst possible and it was the first notification I saw on the injury(they deleted the tweet).

Still...we're just so damn cursed with injuries you never know even when guys walk off the field. Hopefully they give us a good update soon.

It sounds like he's ok. Based on the reports I heard. But I don't know how extensive they have examined it with a scan at this time. I hope for the best.

I doubt he had a scan yet, but you can get a good sense from physical exam. There's a test called an anterior drawer among other others to check stability of the joint.

I've been so shell shocked with our injuries lately until we get official reports I'm still gonna be here having a panic attack.

You have guys like Dallas and Houston just had where team fears torn ACL only to find out it's nothing that serious after scans. Meanwhile we go the other way. Still remember Deebo in 23 reported as just dealing with something small only to find out few days later it was a fracture and he missed like 4 weeks.

Hoping it's not the case here of course. We need to stay healthy.

This team is starting to build a reputation of not only injuries year in and year out but hiding / down playing them as well. They knew Mustapha tore his ACL but only admitted it when it as time to practice and he wasn't available. Literally 3-4 months hiding it. Guaranteed they knew something was up with McCaffery last year but didn't report it till they couldn't deny it any more. It's concerning they haven't given an update yet given this pattern

It's not a 49ers issue. The 49ers are adhering to the NFL rules.

I don't know about hiding but the injury issue is highly concerning. This team for whatever reason can't stay healthy at key positions. Every year we suffer devastating losses of talent.. maybe it just seems like we are hit harder than other teams…I just know it hurts us every year. In the regular season and post season. Bad luck I guess.

Yeah, I remember in the 90s the Saints and Pelicans had lots of "bad luck" with injuries and it turned out they shared training staff. The Warriors had a run of pretty good health, lost some key members of their training staff and injuries got worse (they also got older).

I wonder if the 49ers need some new training staff? That said, the 49ers haven't had any significant injuries this year so the whole narrative is a little exaggerated.

I think the next CBA should add more off-season access to team training staff.
