49ers fear rookie edge rusher Mykel Williams has a torn ACL
Mykel Williams suffered a knee injury in the San Francisco 49ers’ victory at the New York Giants. Coach Kyle Shanahan is worried the rookie edge rusher’s season could be over. Shanahan said the fear after Williams went down with four minutes left was a torn ACL. Williams was the 11th pick in the draft out of Georgia, selected to help their pass rush after going 6-11 last season. Nick Bosa’s season-ending torn ACL made Williams all the more important. Williams had 20 tackles and a sack before getting hurt.
