The San Francisco 49ers have been one of the most injured teams in 2025. After losing Nick Bosa and Fred Warner to season-ending injuries, the team may have lost another.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters about injuries following the team’s win, and he revealed there is a deep fear that first-round pick Mykel Williams has suffered a torn ACL.
Per multiple reports, Shanahan indicated that Williams is likely out for the season, but the team will give him an MRI to confirm. There were major concerns for Williams’ head after the injury, and now the rookie will presumably miss most of the 2026 season if it is confirmed that he did suffer a torn ACL.
The typical nature of ACL injuries is a year of recovery, though that all depends on whether it is confirmed and how Williams responds to treatment and recovery.
This is a truly heartbreaking moment for Williams and his first season in the NFL.
