Patrick Willis underwent surgery on his injured toe 10 days ago on Nov. 21. On Monday, he took to social media to post a photo of his new mode of transportation -- a knee-walker.
The post was accompanied by the following message:
"My new wheels at the moment!!!! I don't move fast but I once heard "slow motion is better than no motion" hope u all are having a great day! #willnotbedenied #alwaysbelieve #blessed"
Willis appeared to be at a mall, boasting a big smile as he took care of his holiday shopping.
Willis, 29, was placed on season-ending injured reserve after collecting an interception, three passes defended and 29 tackles in six games this year.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said he does not know if Willis will be available to participate in the 49ers’ offseason program. Willis recently said he hoped to be ready for the start of training camp.
