Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was listed as week-to-week on Monday after hurting his shoulder at practice the day before.
But Williams’ absence could be a bit longer than anticipated.
On Tuesday, coach Anthony Lynn said Williams will be “out for a while,” adding that he’s not certain if he will be ready for Week 1 against the Bengals.
With Williams out, someone will have to step up. Lynn says he likes the competition between the young wide receivers who are having to fill in with Williams sidelined indefinitely.
Jaylen Guyton, Darius Jennings, Jason Moore, Tyron Johnson and rookies Joe Reed and K.J. Hill will have opportunities to prove they can step in for the absent Williams during the last couple weeks of practices.
