Chargers’ Williams out with leg injury
Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams injured his leg during Los Angeles’ fourth practice of training camp at Costa Mesa, Calif.
Williams was hurt while defending receiver Mike Williams in a drill, dealing another potential blow to the Chargers’ depth in the defensive secondary. After getting attention from the training staff, Trevor Williams left on crutches with his left foot in a walking boot.
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn didn’t have an immediate update on Williams’ injury.
“You’re holding your breath there,” Lynn said. “I think he sprained his ankle, but I don’t think it’s bad. I mean, it’s the fourth day of training camp. Hell, we have coaches around here limping. Coaches are sore, so I can’t imagine how the players feel.”
Williams emerged as a surprise standout for the Chargers last season, starting 15 games opposite Pro Bowl cornerback Casey Hayward.
Los Angeles already lost former Pro Bowl cornerback Jason Verrett last week to a torn Achilles tendon.
