The injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers moved a step closer to getting a key player back for a change with the team opening the practice window for defensive end Mykel Williams. Williams took part in his first team practice since tearing his ACL last November to end his rookie season. Williams has been on the physically unable to perform list since the start of training camp and is working his way to getting back in the lineup.
The 49ers have a 21-day window to decide whether to activate Williams, who isn’t eligible to play until after missing the game this week against Denver.
