Chargers WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) were listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. HC Brandon Staley said both guys took part in individual drills. We'll see how they progress leading up to Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. QB Justin Herbert could certainly use his top 2 WRs.
Chargers WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) will be back at practice this week, HC Brandon Staley said Monday. We'll see if they're out there on Wednesday and, if so, at what level of participation. But Williams and Allen at least have a shot to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs.
Chargers WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) are out for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. Williams is probably still a couple of weeks away from returning from his high-ankle sprain. Allen has no timetable to return from his lingering hamstring problem. Josh Palmer will again operate as Los Angeles’ top WR this weekend, with DeAndre Carter the #2.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. He suffered a setback with that hamstring while training over the bye week and didn't practice at all this week. Allen said he's not returning until he's back to 100%, so consider him iffy for Week 10. WR Mike Williams (ankle) is also out for Sunday's game, while WR DeAndre Carter was added to the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable with an illness. We'll see if he's able to suit up come Sunday. Josh Palmer should lead Chargers WRs in targets against Atlanta's 31st-ranked WR defense. Los Angeles' other healthy WRs are Michael Bandy and Jason Moore. WRs Joe Reed, John Hightower and Keelan Doss are on the practice squad. RB Austin Ekeler and TE Gerald Everett also project for strong volume this weekend.
The Chargers expect WR Mike Williams to miss a "minimum" of 4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. That's a typical timeline for this injury. Williams gets a Week 8 bye but figures to miss at least the next 3 games vs. the Falcons, 49ers and Chiefs. We'd still try to keep him stashed on fantasy benches as a late-season asset. Williams' absence will leave Keenan Allen, Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter as Los Angeles' top 3 WRs.
Chargers WR Mike Williams has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Williams is now looking at a multi-week absence. If there's a silver-lining here, it's that L.A. enters a Week 8 bye.
Chargers WR Mike Williams will undergo an MRI on Monday on the right ankle he sprained in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Williams was in a walking boot afterward and couldn't put any weight on that right leg in the locker room, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. We should get an update on Williams tomorrow.
Chargers RB Austin Ekeler delivered a big receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He caught all 12 of his targets for 96 yards and 1 of QB Justin Herbert's 2 TD passes.

TE Gerald Everett added 5-63 receiving on a matching 9 looks.
Chargers WR Mike Williams injured his right ankle in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. He had to be helped off by a couple of trainers, putting hardly any weight on the leg. We'll update Williams' status when we know more, but this doesn't look good. The Chargers at least get a Week 8 bye.
Chargers WR Mike Williams caught only 2 of 6 targets for 17 yards in Week 6. CB Patrick Surtain shadowed Williams for most of the night, and that matchup proved difficult for the veteran WR. This dud followed 2 straight outings of 120+ yards, but of course, it’s not totally out of character. Williams posted games of 10 and 15 yards over the first 3 weeks. Keenan Allen (hamstring) should return over the next week or so, helping keep Williams’ boom-or-bust profile intact. Sunday turns up a bounce-back spot vs. Seattle.
