During Sunday’s victory over the Vikings, Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams suffered a torn ACL that will rule him out for the rest of the 2023 season.
The injury occurred with a little under two minutes left in the third quarter. After taking a screen pass and getting hit, Williams went down clutching his left knee. He had to be helped off the field and carted to the locker room.

Williams had 19 receptions for 249 yards and one score over the first three games of the year.
Williams has dealt with various injuries throughout his career. But when on the field, he has been nothing short of a reliable receiver, with his ability to put his body on the line and make tough catches look routine.
Williams is expected to be ready for training camp next year.
With Williams out, Joshua Palmer and rookie Quentin Johnston will see extended playing time going forward alongside Keenan Allen.
