| Footballguys view: Williams has been out of action for about a month, and now his road to recovery begins. We'll see him next year in camp, and Williams should be good to go for Week 1 of the 2024 season. Now, we'll have to see if the Chargers keep him around for next season as Williams has a $32.4 million cap hit with "only" $12.4 million in dead money. |

Chargers | Mike Williams has torn ACL Mon Sep 25, 12:17 PM
Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 3, and his season is over.
| Footballguys view: Big Mike Williams is a fantastic player when he's healthy, but he does get injured quite a bit as a pro. Now, he's dealing with a serious injury that will cost him the rest of the 2023 season. Williams has a $32 million cap hit in 2024, but the team could move on from him and eat $12 million in dead money. The Chargers will move forward with Joshua Palmer and rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston as no.2 and no.3 options behind Keenan Allen. |

Chargers | Mike Williams out of game Sun Sep 24, 03:42 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 3 game and is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Williams had to take the cart back to the locker room. Joshua Palmer caught a score on a ball that should have been picked in relief of Williams, and he's the pickup over first round pick Quentin Johnston, who has been used sparingly. It's also possible that tight ends Gerald Everett and Donald Parham are more involved in the passing game if Williams has to sit for multiple weeks. The Chargers get the Raiders next week. |

| Footballguys view: Williams had a solid PPR day with Austin Ekeler's absence focusing the targets on the wide receivers. He'll be worth putting in lineups whether Ekeler is back or not next week with the Vikings pass defense up next week. |

Chargers | Mike Williams suffered back fracture Fri Jan 13, 12:44 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (back) suffered a small non-surgical fracture in his back and is expected to be out for 2-3 weeks, according to a source Friday, Jan. 13.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers' medical staff initially missed this injury with testing. Now, when he didn't get better during the week, a more serious injury was discovered. Playing in a meaningless Week 18 game against the Broncos was not a great move, and head coach Brandon Staley is to blame. Some consider this move, which essentially knocks Williams out for the rest of the season, is a fireable offense for Staley |
