Misses practice Williams (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Daniel Popper of The Athletic previously reported that Williams was set to practice on a limited basis, but ultimately, the wideout wasn't able to log any recorded activity. Per Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site, head coach Brandon Staley noted Monday that the ankle aggravation Williams sustained Week 11 against the Chiefs was "not a significant re-injury," but following Wednesday's absence, the receiver's status will need to be monitored closely ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. If Williams is out this weekend, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would be in line to see added snaps at receiver alongside Keenan Allen.

Limited practice on tap Williams (ankle) is slated to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Head coach Brandon Staley said that Williams, who was limited to just six snaps in this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after aggravating the ankle injury, has a chance to play this weekend against the Cardinals. If, however, Williams is unavailable versus Arizona, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would be in line to see added snaps alongside No. 1 receiver Keenan Allen.

Impact In his first game action since Week 7, Williams lasted just six snaps before exiting Sunday's contest, but it looks like he may not miss further time. Staley noted Monday that the Chargers are going to "find out a lot more in the next couple of days about (the wideout's) possibilities for Wednesday's practice." With Williams limited versus Kansas City, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter logged added Week 11 snaps alongside Keenan Allen, with Palmer leading Los Angeles' WR corps with eight catches (on 10 targets) for 106 yards and two TDs.

Chargers' Mike Williams injures ankle again vs. Chiefs
Mike Williams’ return to the Los Angeles Chargers' lineup ended up being briefNOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Won't return after ankle injury Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Williams hurt his ankle in the first half. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, coach Brandon Staley confirmed after the game that Williams aggravated the high ankle sprain that had sidelined him since Week 7. Williams' return was originally deemed questionable, but he was ruled out at halftime. The wide receiver will look to heal up before the Chargers travel to Arizona in Week 12.

Re-injures ankle on SNF Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Williams got up limping after making a tiptoeing catch along the sideline in the first half, so it's likely that he aggravated his ankle injury on that play. He had been out since spraining his ankle in Week 7. That sideline grab went for a gain of 15 on Williams' only target prior to his exit.

Returns to lineup Sunday Williams (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Also in uniform is Keenan Allen (hamstring), with the Chargers' top two wideouts making their first appearances in a game since Week 7. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Williams is expected to log a full workload in the contest, while Allen could be on something of a pitch count that may be in the range of 30-35 snaps. Prior to suffering his ankle injury, Williams made a fantasy mark by racking up 37 catches (on 59 targets) for a team-high 495 receiving yards and three TDs in seven contests. Now that Allen and Williams are both back in the mix, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter figure to return to lesser roles in Los Angeles' passing attack.

In line for typical snap count Williams (ankle), who is slated to play Sunday versus the Chiefs, is expected to handle a normal workload, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With the help of a Week 8 bye, Williams is in line to miss just two games as a result of a high right-ankle sprain suffered back in Week 7. In the first six contests of the campaign, he hovered between 84 and 94 percent of the offensive snaps, which seemingly can be expected of the sixth-year pro Sunday. At the same time, fellow wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) likely will be under a pitch count, so the pecking order at the position may be Williams, Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter.

Expected to play Sunday Williams (ankle) remains officially listed as questionable, but he's expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.
Impact Williams is on track to suit up for the first time since Week 7 due to an ankle injury, but fantasy managers should still confirm his status before locking him into lineups. Unfortunately, the Chargers don't play until 8:20 p.m. ET, so if Williams is a surprise scratch, there'll be few replacement options available to managers.

Listed as questionable for Sunday Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs after practicing fully Friday.
Impact The same applies to Keenan Allen (hamstring), with both pass catchers trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, Williams feels good to go for Week 11, but given his official questionable designation, the wideout's status will need to be verified once the Chargers' inactives are posted. Ideally, added context with regard to both Williams and Allen will surface ahead of the first wave of games this weekend, but at this stage things appear to be looking up for Williams, who last played Week 7.

Logs another limited practice Williams (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Impact The same goes for Keenan Allen (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (ribs), with Friday's final injury report set to provide further context with regard to the trio's Week 11 status. Williams, who also was limited Wednesday, ran routes at practice Thursday, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, but at this stage the wideout's status for Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET contest against the Chiefs remains unclear.

Chargers Wide Receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams Making Progress From Injuries: Where do They Stand in Their Return? Keenan Allen and Mike Williams each practiced Wednesday for the Chargers.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • SACBEE.COM
Back at practice Williams (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.
Impact Williams was joined on the practice field by Keenan Allen (hamstring), who was also a limited participant. Assuming both Williams and Allen emerge from the week of practice without any setbacks, the Chargers could have their top two receivers available for the first time since Week 7 in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, Williams, who suffered a right high-ankle sprain Week 7, said that he's "feeling a lot better" at this stage, but he'll presumably need to practice in full by Friday in order to avoid a Week 11 injury designation.
