Pro Football Rumors
Mike Williams will not, in fact, see the field during his second stint with the Chargers. The veteran wideout is instead ending his career.
Williams’ agent informed the Chargers last night that his client is retiring, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. As a result, Williams will depart the NFL at the age of 30. He spent eight years in the league, the first seven of which came as a member of the Bolts.
Five players opened training camp on the active/PUP list when Los Angeles’ training camp started. Williams was among them, but players can be activated from that list at any time before final roster cuts are made and those situations often include relatively minor ailments. Even in the event Williams would have been forced to remain on the PUP list through the first month of the campaign, returning to action at some point would have represented much less of a surprise than today’s news.
More to come…
