49ers' Mykel Williams, Packers' Tucker Kraft Feared Torn ACLs

News summary

Two NFL players are feared to have suffered torn ACLs in Sunday games: San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Mykel Williams and Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft. Williams, the 49ers’ first‑round pick (11th overall), suffered the injury late in San Francisco’s 34-24 win over the New York Giants and has 19 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble this season; head coach Kyle Shanahan said the outlook was concerning and the team is awaiting confirmatory testing. If Williams is lost, Sam Okuayinonu could slide into the starting defensive end role and the 49ers — already coping with season‑ending injuries to key defenders including Nick Bosa — would face notable depth issues on the defensive line. In Green Bay’s loss, Kraft was carted off and coach Matt LaFleur said the prognosis “does not look good,” with NFL Network reporting a feared torn ACL; the Packers are also awaiting further testing.
