The San Francisco 49ers boosted their roster ahead of their season opener against the New York Jets by activating All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and elevating practice squad players Sam Okuayinonu and Tracy Walker III. Williams had been in negotiations and signed a three-year, $82.66 million deal before returning to the team.
With Yetur Gross-Matos and Talanoa Hufanga sidelined, Okuayinonu is set to play a backup role. Hufanga, recovering from an ACL injury, is doubtful for the game. Other key players like Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Banks remain questionable.
