Seahawks-49ers game designations: Leonard Williams WILL play!

The Seattle Seahawks received key injury updates ahead of their high-stakes Week 5 clash with the NFC West-rival San Francisco 49ers. Defensive lineman Leonard Williams, a cornerstone of Seattle’s front four, will suit up after clearing his ankle injury without a game designation, despite missing practice time earlier in the week.

His return, alongside safety Ty Okada’s full availability, provides a much-needed boost to a defense looking to contain an undefeated 49ers offense. However, Seattle’s backfield will be thin with running back Zach Charbonnet out and George Holani questionable due to rib and ankle issues, forcing reliance on Emmanuel Wilson and newly acquired Robert Henry Jr.

The secondary also takes a hit with cornerback Julian Neal ruled out after a practice injury, potentially elevating Trevon Diggs for a second straight game. Meanwhile, the 49ers will play without fullback Kyle Juszczyk and defensive linemen James Thompson and Nick Bosa, while cornerback Upton Stout and defensive end Mykel Williams remain questionable.

The matchup, set for 1:25 p.m. PT on FOX, promises a critical test for both teams in the NFC West race.
