Injury updates: Trent Williams will undergo an MRI for his groin injury
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t sound too worried about Brock Purdy’s status moving forward. Purdy left Monday’s game with a stinger, but did not return.
Shanahan mentioned multiple offensive lineman being out as the reason that Purdy didn’t return so he could be ready for next week. Here’s Brock on suffering his second stinger in as many games:
“The way I got tackled on that play, it lit up again, just like last week. Over time, it went away. At first it was on fire. Over time, like last week, it came back.”
One of those offensive lineman that didn’t return was left guard Aaron Banks, who suffered a toe injury. Shanahan said that it was the same foot that kept Banks out for two games. Banks confirmed that he re-aggravated his turf toe injury.
Jaylon Moore has a concussion. He came in for Trent Williams, who left with a groin injury. Williams will undergo an MRI on Tuesday. Shanahan said that Williams wanted to go back into the game, but the medical staff told Shanahan to hold Williams out. In the locker room, Williams said, “I’m good. I know you want to ask me about the injury. I’ll be all right.”
If Williams and Moore cannot go next week against Washington, then Colton McKivitz will play left tackle and Spencer Burford will get the start at right tackle. Shanahan said that he’s the next option.
Finally, Ambry Thomas has a hamstring injury. He did not start the second half, but Shanahan said that the plan was to work Jason Verrett into the game. Verrett played in the slot. Shanahan said that Verrett had been playing nickel for the previous two weeks, and did for four weeks in a row when he was in Houston.
We’ll have more updates about Williams’ MRI when Shanahan speaks this afternoon at 12:30 p.m. PT.
What’s New
Hilton hotel workers in San Francisco voted on Christmas Eve to approve a new union contract after a 93-day strike, according to the Unite Here Local 2 union.
The union, which represents about 15,000 workers in the region, announced that the deal settles the last of the city’s 2024 hotel strikes, covering approximately 900 Hilton workers.
Newsweek has contacted Unite Here Local 2 and Hilton via email for comment.

Why It Matters
The new contracts after this year’s strikes establish significant improvements in wages, health care and workload protections for workers at Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott-operated hotels.
The agreements conclude months of labor unrest that involved thousands of workers and disrupted San Francisco’s hotel industry.
What To Know
Hilton workers voted 99.4 percent in favor of the agreement on Christmas Eve, which includes a $3 per hour immediate wage increase, additional raises, and protections against understaffing and increased workloads.
The four-year contract preserves affordable union health insurance and provides pension increases. The deal covers workers at Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55, with 650 workers having actively participated in the strike.
This agreement follows similar contracts reached with Hyatt workers on Friday and Marriott workers last Thursday, covering a total of 2,500 workers who had been on strike since late September.
What People Are Saying
Bill Fung, a housekeeping attendant at Hilton San Francisco Union Square for 29 years, said: “These 93 days have not been easy, and I’m so proud that my coworkers and I never gave up. We stood together through the rain and cold, and even though there were some hard days, it was all worth it. We will go back to work with our health care, good raises, and the confidence of knowing that when we fight, we win.”
Lizzy Tapia, President of Unite Here Local 2, said: “Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott workers refused to give up their health care or go backwards – and we proved on the picket line that we’re not afraid of a tough fight. As contract talks begin with the city’s other full-service hotels in the new year, they should know that this is the new standard they must accept for their own employees.”
San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie said on X: “All those that have been out on strike will be back to work, and just in time for Christmas. So, things are looking bright as we head into 2025.
What Happens Next
Unite Here Local 2 said it would push for other full-service hotels in San Francisco to adopt the same standards established by the Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott agreements when contract negotiations resume in 2025.
