Trent Williams certainly looks like he’ll be ready to go for the 49ers’ playoff opener this weekend.
The San Francisco All-Pro tackle — who’s been dealing with a hamstring injury — returned to Niners practice on Thursday and appeared to be moving like a guy who will play in the team’s postseason matchup with the Eagles on Sunday.
Williams donned shoulder pads and a helmet for the workout, and in videos posted by several reporters on the scene in Santa Clara, Calif., he seemed to be his usual, explosive self.
