Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams left Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a back injury. It appears he doesn’t have an injury that will impact his availability for Saturday’s game against the Jaguars.
Williams’ x-rays that he had conducted yesterday were negative, and head coach Brandon Staley had another positive update on Monday at his media availability. Staley said that an MRI showed a contusion.
Staley said that he expects Williams to practice this week and that the indication is that he will be able to play in Jacksonville.
Not having Williams on the field would have been a considerable loss, as he’s been a key component in the passing game.
Williams had an ankle injury during the regular season that kept him out for four games and most of the Week 11 matchup with the Chiefs.
The big-bodied wideout amassed 63 catches for 895 yards (14.2 yards per reception) and four touchdowns in 13 games.
Additionally, linebacker Kenneth Murray, who left Sunday’s contest with a stinger in the second quarter, will be able to practice this week.
