Willis (wrist) only managed three tackles (two solo) in Sunday's win over Philadelphia. |
Willis turned in his worst performance of the season Sunday, failing to make a statistical impact on the game. He was hampered by a minor wrist injury coming into the game, but IDP owners were hoping for more from the perennial stud. Look for him to make a bigger impact next week against Kansas City, who features a more run-heavy attack than Philadelphia. |

Willis has 20 tackles and an interception in three games, and he could have a strong game against a Philadelphia offense that runs many plays per game, and many rushing plays among them. |

Willis (wrist) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, the Sacramento Bee reports. |
In addition to imparting the minor nature of his wrist injury, which required the use of wrist guards during practice, Willis said, "I'll be fine." There seems to be little question regarding his status heading into Sunday's contest versus the Eagles, against whom he'll build upon 20 tackles (18 solo) and one interception on the season. |

Prior to drills commencing, Willis was seen wearing a brace on his wrist, according to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area.

Willis recorded eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Bears. |
The eight tackles is solid number for Willis (who had 104 combined tackles in 2013), but other than that, it was a pretty uneventful day for the All-Pro linebacker. |

Willis recorded six tackles and picked off a pass in Sunday's win over Dallas. |
Willis didn't rack up the tackles like he usually does, but the interception was a nice surprise for his IDP owners. He should be a great source of tackles going forward with NaVorro Bowman (knee) sidelined for the majority of the season. |

Willis missed the entirety of the preseason with an ailment that the organization never revealed, but Wednesday's report was without his name, making him available for Week 1 in Dallas. The IDP force should be utilized in most leagues for his all-around production. |

49ers ILB Patrick Willis (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Texans. |
"We'll see," coach Jim Harbaugh said when asked whether Willis will play on Sunday Night Football. The coach just seems to be playing coy. Willis practiced on Friday and has had a ten-day layoff following last Thursday night's win. It would be surprising were Willis not active against the Texans. |
