Williams got hurt with four minutes remaining in Sunday's 34-24 win over the host New York Giants. The 49ers' lead was at 34-17 when Williams lined up at left defensive end, raced past left tackle Marcus Mbow, and grasped at quarterback Jaxson Dart as he backpedaled and unleashed an incomplete pass from the Giants' 31-yard line. Williams immediately grabbed at his right knee and banged his hands into his helmet while splayed on his back on the MetLife Stadium's synthetic field, which has long come under fire for safety concerns.

Considering he hasn't had a good season and fell down the depth chart throughout the summer, it's almost shocking to see any team willing to give up even late-round draft capital to acquire him. But given the losses the 49ers have dealt with, like Fred Warner, it's not entirely surprising that they were interested in providing White a fresh start. The Patriots make their first big trade ahead of the 2025 NFL deadline

Peterson feared Williams could be adversely affected by the NFL's offseason lockout. "He saved my career because, I mean, you don't know what you've got to train for," Williams said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with this news organization. Williams, 37, is midway through his 16th year in the NFL. He's heading for his fourth and perhaps final playoff push since coming to the 49ers in 2020. Sunday will mark only his second-ever game in Houston, his offseason home.

PASS OFFENSE: C- Mac Jones, already battered through three starts, was sacked six times and intercepted twice but threw for 347 yards with a sore oblique and knee. Coach Kyle Shanahan didn't blame Jones for getting intercepted on the opening possession's third down, seeing how Kendrick Bourne apparently turned the wrong way on his route. Bourne, to his growing credit, did rack up 142 yards for a second straight game.

The strangeness of the 2025 Niners is just getting started, but somewhere between a quarter and a third of the way through the season, this felt an appropriate time to review some of my preseason predictions. And while excuse me while I pat myself on the back I nailed a few of them, there are a few others that I wish I could have back. We deal in facts here, and the facts are forcing a few painful mea culpas.

By virtue of a 4-1 overall record and 4-0 mark against NFC teams, the 49ers sit atop the conference for the first time since the 2023 season. That conference mark is a key tiebreaker come January's playoff seeding, after sizing up head-to-head battles, divisional games, and common opponents. Other 4-1 NFC teams are the 49ers' hosts this Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1 NFC), as well as the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) and the Detroit Lions (2-1).
