49ers OL Trent Williams active for NFC Championship Game

The San Francisco 49ers are going to need Trent Williams to be close to 100% if they are to take out the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game.

We have no idea how healthy the All-Pro left tackle is going to be. What we do know is that he’s officially active for the game after suffering a sprained ankle in last week’s win over the Green Bay Packers.

In fact, Williams is going to give it a go despite suffering a Grade 2 high-ankle sprain. According to Stacey Dales of NFL Media, that’s essentially a tear of the ankle.

“Trent Willams is active despite the right ankle injury that he just told me is a Grade 2 high ankle. Which is essentially a partial tear. Said he flew in TB12’s medical personnel Tuesday w/ treatment around the clock – NONSTOP. Told me he wouldn’t miss this game for the world,” Dales noted.

Having Tom Brady’s medical personnel on hand in Santa Clara heading into the game probably played a role in Williams suiting up despite not practicing all week and being seen on crutches following San Francisco’s win over Green Bay in the NFC Divisional Playoffs.
