The San Francisco 49ers remain alive in the race for Super Bowl 56. It'll be a tough journey, but they have as good of a chance as anybody. However, during their game against the Green Bay Packers, it was feared superstar left tackle Trent Williams suffered a serious injury. San Francisco receives an update on their star offensive lineman.

According to NBC Sports, “the 49ers received some good news when X-rays on the right ankle of All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams came back negative.” This is huge for this team, as this now creates the potential for Williams to return in the playoffs. Jimmy Garoppolo and the entire fan base can breathe a sigh of relief. Although this doesn't guarantee his return, San Francisco has to feel confident about their chances to make a run for Super Bowl 56.

“He appeared to sustain an ankle injury in the third quarter. While the 49ers were on defense, Williams got his ankle taped and returned to the game,” per NBC Sports. We'll see how the rest of the week plays out for Trent Williams, as he'll be monitored throughout the week leading up to San Francisco's next game.

Considering what's at stake, this is the best news the 49ers could have heard on Sunday. Jimmy Garoppolo has been inconsistent, but losing Trent Williams could be detrimental to this team's Super Bowl hopes. Keep an eye on the 49ers, as Williams' status will be updated throughout the course of the week. He's not 100 percent, but the coaching staff will do everything in their power to help their superstar left tackle to see the field.
