Former Clemson WR carted off field against Cowboys


by - Assoc. Editor -

Los Angeles Chargers rookie receiver Mike Williams suffered a right knee injury in the first quarter against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

Williams was carted off the field to the locker room by the medical staff and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. No word yet on the severity of the injury.

In 2017, Williams has 9 catches for 84 yards and had already missed the first five games of the season with a herniated disc in his back.

Last season, Williams led Clemson in receptions (98), receiving yards (1,361) and receiving touchdowns (11). He was selected No. 7 overall in the NFL Draft by the Chargers in April.

Williams totaled 177 receptions for 2,727 yards and 21 touchdowns in 1,871 snaps over 42 games (30 starts) during his time in Clemson. He ranks third in school history in receiving touchdowns, fourth in receiving yards and fifth in receptions.
