The San Francisco 49ers plan to open the practice window for defensive end Mykel Williams on Wednesday, following his start on the active/physically unable to perform list. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the move, which comes after the 49ers signed defensive end Matt Judon to bolster the position due to injuries. Williams, a first-round pick in 2025, is recovering from a torn ACL and lateral meniscus suffered last November. He is expected to need some ramp-up time before returning to game action.
