He gingerly walked toward the sideline before trainers helped him the rest of the way. The CBS broadcast later showed Williams on a cart, heading toward the locker room.
“What you’re trying to do is set a standard for your program about how you do things, and that’s what I believe in. I didn’t want anybody to get hurt in that game, regardless of their status, because everybody’s important.”Chargers wideout Mike Williams has also dealt with a high-ankle sprain this season.Staley had said earlier in his press conference that Williams was “progressing” and “getting treatment,” and Staley anticipated his status hinging on a pregame workout.
