Chargers rule out WR Mike Williams for second straight week

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders because of a high ankle sprain.

Also ruled out were veteran starting center Corey Linsley (concussion protocol) and right tackle Trey Pipkins III (knee).

This will be the second straight game that Williams will miss after aggravating a right high ankle sprain in Week 11. He initially suffered the injury in Week 7.

In his absence, quarterback Justin Herbert will be expected to look to wide receiver Keenan Allen, who has 10 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown over the past two games since returning from a hamstring injury, as well as Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter.
