Kyle Williams Rumors & News

Since the news of Michael Crabtree's torn Achilles, the media has been firing off tweets, posts and videos about just who could replace the production that Crabtree would have brought to the 49ers in 2013. Most are quick to point out A.J. Jenkins due to his quiet rookie season during which he mostly rode the pine. A lot was already expected of him simply in order to show that he wasn't a bust of a draft pick. Others take the easy route and point to Vernon Davis. Sure, he's athletic, a mismatch, and has been a huge part of the offense in the past ... but oftentimes Crabtree had good sta...

It turned out timely, given the news of Michael Crabtree's Achilles tear. Given how much more important the wide receiver position battle is in light of the injury, I figured I'd conti...

49ers wide receiver wide receiver Kyle Williams has been rehabbing from his November ACL tear, and it sounds like he received some pertinent clearance today. Earlier this afternoon, he posted this picture on Instagram: After sending out this picture, he tweeted that he was still taking things easy because it was still a long way toward the season.

He felt he could do more during OTAs and minicamp, but the doctors wanted t...

In recent weeks, I've been hit up on Twitter numerous times for updates on various 49ers injuries. We've provided updates as news developed, but I figured now was a good time to put together a comprehensive update on where we stand. There was some new information on Kendall Hunter this weekend, but otherwise this is just a compilation so everybody is on the same page. Well, everybody that reads this at least. Kendall Hunter The 49ers running back tore his Achilles in the 49ers Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints. We had not heard much on the extent of the injury or his rehab progre...

There aren't a ton of links, but hey, there are some good ones. I've had internet problems so I'm skipping the intro so I can spend more time on the links. I hope you don't mind. The big news from the day is Kyle Williams has been running. It's a great first step, no pun intended, toward a full recovery. He was always expected to be ready and rearing by camp. Mario Manningham, on the other hand, still appears to be in for a slow return. | Williams back on the run after ACL tear (Inman) For those of you who want to see the 49ers use some of these 2013 picks to stock up for the highly an...

I asked him about his rehab and at that point he was confid...

Good morning folks. I've been away for a few days but back for the Nuggets today. I haven't yet weighed in on the rule changes and personally, I really hate the running back rule. I honestly don't understand the rule, given that I firmly believe the rule is not safer in the great scheme of things. We'll just have to deal with it because it's what Roger Goodell wants. Unfortunately, it's not a matter of "he's making it a wussy league!" and more a matter of changing something that I think is totally misguided to change. But that's something everybody has already talked about. Anyway, le...
