Mike Williams Denies Needing Season-Ending Surgery for Back Injury

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Mike Williams denied on Saturday that he would require season-ending back surgery despite previous reports to the contrary.

"I'm good. Everything good. The back situation. That was some false information being released," he said, per Lakisha Jackson of NFL.com. "I don't know who released it but everything is good."

On Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com noted that season-ending surgery had been a possibility for Williams three to four weeks ago but "two sources with direct knowledge say it is NOT on the table now" and that Williams was showing improvement.
