Mike Williams’ second stint with the Chargers was supposed to be his opportunity to get back on track. After an uneventful half-year tenure with the New York Jets in 2024, the veteran wide receiver returned to Los Angeles this offseason, hoping to relive his glory days.
Unfortunately, he won’t get that chance.
Williams was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list earlier this week due to a lingering knee issue. Now, just days later, he’s reportedly walking away from the game for good. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Williams has informed the Chargers that he’s retiring from the NFL at just 30 years old.
