49ers plan full snaps for Williams, fewer for Aiyuk

Nick Wagoner, an NFL reporter at ESPN, has covered the San Francisco 49ers extensively. The team is gearing up for their regular-season opener against the New York Jets with left tackle Trent Williams and receiver Brandon Aiyuk back in the lineup after resolving contract issues. Williams is expected to play his normal workload, while Aiyuk may see fewer snaps. Coach Kyle Shanahan will closely monitor Williams throughout the game due to his limited practice time. Aiyuk, who organized extra sessions with quarterback Brock Purdy, seems ready to go. Running back Christian McCaffrey is questionable, and safety Talanoa Hufanga is doubtful for the game. While some players have been ruled out due to injuries, others are still available in case of emergency. Yetur Gross-Matos and Dee Winters won’t be playing against the Jets, but there’s a possibility that Aaron Banks could still join the game despite his pinky injury. The team is keeping their options open and making sure they have all their players ready in case they’re needed.
