FILE - San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (71) walks off the field after the 49ers were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., in this Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020, file photo. All the bitterness and anger that characterized Trent Williams’ final year in Washington when he sat out the 2019 season, feuded with management and ultimately forced a trade to San Francisco are in the past. Williams is headed into his first game against his former team on Sunday when the 49ers take on Washington, saying he holds no ill will to his former franchise. (AP Photo/Tony Avelar, File)
