If Williams can make it through pre-game activities and be ready to take the field, the 49ers and Jones will have two very important players ready to go against the Saints.
The 49ers are hoping to pick up another big win against the Saints, and this would have been a favorable matchup had they not experienced this many injuries before the game.
Losing Purdy and Kittle will be tough to deal with. That is also not to mention Brandon Aiyuk remaining out.
The 49ers still have All-Pro superstar running back Christian McCaffrey and Ricky Pearsall on offense. With Jennings returning to the fold, the team has a better shot at picking up a second consecutive win.
