The Chargers will be without their starting center, and will now be without one of their starting wide receivers in the season opener.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Mike Williams, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury, is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Bengals.
Williams was a limited participant all week at practice, and coach Anthony Lynn said that he would be a game-time decision.
Williams hadn’t practiced since injuring his right shoulder during training camp on Aug. 23.
The next men up to fill the void will be second-year wideout Jason Moore and rookies K.J. Hill and Joe Reed. One of those will line up next to starters Keenan Allen and Jalen Guyton on Sunday.
The matchup between Los Angeles and Cincinnati kicks off at 1:05 p.m. PT.
