What happened: At training camp, the 38-year-old left tackle said he is taking more time to absorb the daily routine. He agreed to a new two-year contract with San Francisco this offseason.

Why it matters: The deal keeps a vital blocker in place for a team seeking a deep 2026 postseason run. It also gives San Francisco a timetable for planning its future at left tackle.

By the numbers: Williams is entering his 17th NFL season. His two-year, $50 million contract averages $25 million per year.

What to watch: Williams' work through camp will offer the next look at how he approaches the closing stretch of his career.
