Thu Dec 19 17:10:00 UTC 2024: ## 49ers Rookies Guerendo, Veteran Williams Sidelined by Injuries
**SANTA CLARA, CA** – The San Francisco 49ers are facing a growing injury crisis as two key players, rookie Isaac Guerendo and veteran left tackle Trent Williams, were held out of Wednesday’s practice.
Guerendo, who suffered a foot sprain in his first start and now a hamstring injury in his second, is a major concern. The hamstring injury, sustained in last week’s loss to the Rams, raises questions about his ability to handle the rigors of starting. While his foot sprain isn’t officially listed on the injury report, the hamstring injury is more serious and could keep him sidelined for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed uncertainty about Guerendo’s availability, suggesting rest might be the best course of action.
Williams, meanwhile, continues to struggle with an ankle sprain that shows no signs of improvement. While Shanahan stated that Williams would play if healthy enough, his tone suggested it’s highly unlikely. With the 49ers having little to play for in the remaining games, the team may opt to shut down the veteran tackle to allow him to fully recover. His absence would likely continue to give opportunities to backup Jaylon Moore.
Other players with limited participation in Wednesday’s practice include Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), Dre Greenlaw (knee, Achilles), Malik Mustapha (chest), and Jaylon Moore (hip). The 49ers’ injury situation will be closely monitored as they prepare for the crucial final stretch of the season.
