The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a big blow Sunday with an injury to wide receiver Mike Williams, who is out for the season.
Williams suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. Williams underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed the injury.
Williams’ injury is a significant blow to the Chargers, as he has typically been the team’s No. 2 receiver beside Keenan Allen. He has a pair of 1,000-yard seasons to his name and caught four touchdowns for the team last season.
This is, unfortunately, not the first time Williams has dealt with some sort of injury that cost him time.
The Chargers drafted Quentin Johnston No. 21 overall in April’s draft, but he has had a minor role in the offense so far in 2023. That may have to change going forward.
