Mykel Williams Tears ACL, Will Miss Remainder of Rookie Season for 49ers

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Mykel Williams will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the diagnosis, which also includes a lateral meniscus tear. Shanahan expressed disappointment, believing Williams was developing into a "hell of a player." The team expects to get defensive end Bryce Huff back from a hamstring injury, which will help fill the void left by Williams. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall and center Jake Brendel are also nearing returns.
