Williams confirmed that he won't retire and will play in 2024, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Williams had already stated that he planned to play in 2024, the 35-year-old confirmed that he will wait at least another year to retire. Williams is under contract with San Francisco through 2026, and he should continue to help anchor their offensive line next season.

Williams (groin) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walk-through.

EDGE Analysis

Though Williams' designation as limited is an estimation because the 49ers held a walk-through Wednesday, it nonetheless qualifies as positive news after he suffered a groin injury that required an MRI on Monday versus Baltimore. The left tackle's practice level over the remaining two days of Week 17 prep should give further clarity to his status moving forward, but it appears for now that he's dodged a serious injury. It goes without saying that San Francisco would be meaningfully impacted if Williams were to miss any time given that he is considered one of the NFL's top offensive linemen.

The All-Pro offensive lineman was able to log limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday's session entirely.
