    Williams, 36, started 58 games over the last four seasons for the 49ers. He entered the league as the No. 4 overall pick by Washington in the 2010 NFL Draft.

    Williams received the second-best offensive rating among tackles last season, according to Pro Football Focus, trailing only Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions. He was the No. 1 tackle in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

    The 49ers signed the veteran offensive lineman to a six-year, $138 million contract extension in 2021. That pact included a $30.1 million signing bonus and more than $55 million in totaled guarantees.

    He will be fined more than $5.3 million for missing training camp and the 49ers' three preseason games due to his contract holdout.

    The 49ers will host the New York Jets in their season opener at 8:15 p.m. EDT Monday in Santa Clara, Calif.
