Leonard Williams cleared to play for Seahawks against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams is cleared to play in the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers despite a recent ankle injury. Although Williams was limited in practice on Wednesday and held out on Thursday, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed his availability for the divisional rivalry game.

The Seahawks' defense will also receive a boost from the return of safety Ty Okada, who carries no injury designation. However, the team faces roster challenges, as running back Zach Charbonnet is ruled out, and cornerback Julian Neal and linebacker Chazz Surratt are also unavailable.

The undefeated 49ers, led by quarterback Brock Purdy, enter the contest with a 4-0 record. The matchup pits one of the league's top-ranked defenses against a highly productive 49ers offense.
