Trent Williams returns to 49ers practice ahead of playoff game vs. Cowboys
San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams returned to practice Thursday for the first time since suffering an elbow injury in Week 17.
Williams, 33, started 15 games for the 49ers this season and earned Pro Bowl honors for a ninth time. The elbow injury kept him out of action for San Francisco’s critical Week 18 game against the Los Angeles Rams, although the 49ers managed to win in overtime without him.
While Williams didn’t participate in practice Wednesday, he still told ESPN’s Ed Werder that he was confident he’d be back in time to play a playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.
