Williams (illness, toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Williams didn't practice Friday after experiencing toe soreness during Thursday's practice, plus the veteran picked up an illness this week. He may not be 100 percent, but Williams will suit up and assume his usual spot at left tackle versus New England.

Williams (illness, toe) is listed as questionable but is likely to play Sunday against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Williams' status depends on the pain tolerance for his toe during Sunday's pregame workout.

The 49ers lifted Williams' roster exemption ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets. Williams had been holding out for a new contract, but after agreeing to terms with the 49ers on Tuesday, he's been added to San Francisco's active roster just in time for the team's regular-season opener Monday. Expect the All-Pro offensive lineman to protect Brock Purdy's blindside as the year progresses.

Williams and the 49ers agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract that guarantees the next two seasons of his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Williams' cited "security" as the No. 1 goal of his training camp holdout, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, and this restructure would seem to fit the bill. The 36-year-old left tackle called his new deal a "a win-win" scenario for both himself and San Francisco. The 11-time Pro Bowler is still playing at an elite level, and with the 49ers also having successfully retained Brandon Aiyuk after a tumultuous offseason, the key pieces of their offense will be intact heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Jets on Monday.

Williams plans to continue his holdout until his contract is addressed, putting his Week 1 availability into question, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Williams has accrued non-rescindable $50,000 fines for each missed day of training camp. Plus, he'll be docked a game check for each of the three preseason contests his holdout covered. He presumably expects to make up that money and then some upon reaching an agreement with the 49ers, after fellow offensive tackles Tristan Wirfs and Penei Sewell reached $28 million per year on their respective contracts this offseason. Williams has three years remaining on a six-year, $138 million contract ($23m AAV) and is scheduled for a $20.5 million base salary in 2024 and $22.5 million in 2025.
