Chargers WR Mike Williams carted off with back injury

Mike Williams looks to be out for the rest of the game.

After leaving the game in the second quarter with a back injury, Williams did not rejoin the offense for their last drive of the first half. He was then carted off the field to the locker room for further evaluation.

Williams is officially questionable to return, but being carted to the locker room is generally not a great sign for the veteran receiver. His potential absence heading into the playoffs would be significantly felt by a Chargers team that was beginning to find a rhythm with him and Keenan Allen fully healthy.

Whether he’s ready to play again against the Broncos or not, it would be a surprise to see Williams back out there in a game that means nothing to Los Angeles. The team has already locked in the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs by virtue of the Ravens’ loss earlier on Sunday and will play the Jaguars on Wild Card Weekend.
