49ers move closer to shutting down Trent Williams for remainder of the season

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said the team is getting close to ruling out star left tackle Trent Williams for the rest of the season as his injured ankle isn’t healing as fast as the 49ers hoped. So it’s getting closer to being that way.” The 49ers also were missing running back Isaac Guerendo at practice Wednesday as they prepare to face Miami. But ultimately the team decided Campbell was the best option after Eric Kendricks chose to sign with Dallas instead of the 49ers and another player the team targeted also signed somewhere else. But at the time when it went down we thought it was our best option and it didn’t work out.” Campbell’s play was spotty during his time with San Francisco and the return of Greenlaw last week showed what the defense had been missing.
