Week 3 of the 2023 season left a bittersweet taste for the Chargers. They secured an incredible win against the Vikings on the road but lost a crucial player at the end of the game.
During the last quarter of Sundayâs game, Mike Williams had to leave early due to a knee injury. NFL Media confirmed on Monday, through an MRI, that the wide receiver suffered a torn ACL and will be out for the rest of the season.
Williams had been the second-best wide receiver on the team this year, following Keenan Allen. The former 7th overall pick has recorded 19 receptions for 249 yards and one touchdown, and these statistics will remain unchanged for the rest of the campaign.
