Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams sustained a shoulder injury in practice last Sunday, which left his availability for the season opener against the Bengals up in the air.
However, there’s a good chance that Williams could be a go in Week 1.
“Mike’s gotta be ready to play,” offensive coordinator Shane Steichen said. “I think Mike has got that mindset to be ready to play. We look forward to having him on September 13.”
Steichen’s remark is very promising, considering coach Anthony Lynn said that Williams was going to be “out for awhile.”
We will have a better feel for Williams’ status once the injury reports roll out throughout the week of practice leading up into the first game of the 2020 season.
If Williams is good to go, he will resume his duties on the outside. But the player opposite still remains to be seen.
Los Angeles has been hard at work trying to determine who the third wide receiver will be. It’s been a tight battle between Jalen Guyton, Jason Moore, Tyron Johnson, Darius Jennings and rookies Joe Reed and K.J. Hill.
