Williams fine after game

Shanahan's response

When asked if Williams' surgically repaired knee 'flared up' during the game, Shanahan said 'just knee' meaning he provided no details.

“Just knee”

Williams' injury history

Williams tore his ACL on Nov. 2 last year and missed training camp and first four games of this season.

Williams' recent role

Williams has played fewer than 50 percent of the time as a rotational defensive lineman since returning.

Re-injury concerns

Williams re-injured his knee during the game despite recording his second career sack against the Commanders.

49ers' pattern

The 49ers let Mike Evans play through Achilles tendinitis and Nick Bosa return before full practice.

Team's failure

The 49ers don't protect players from themselves as they let players play too early.
