EL SEGUNDO, Calif -- Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams is retiring from the NFL, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
Williams' agent, Tory Dandy, informed the Chargers' front office Wednesday night of the wide receiver's decision, sources said.
The retirement comes as a shock to the organization, a source told ESPN. Williams had been working off to the side during the Chargers' offseason activities as he worked through an undisclosed injury.
The team appeared to confirm Williams' retirement in a social media post, writing "whole lotta love" and including a photo from after the Chargers drafted him with the seventh overall pick in 2017.
