Los Angeles Chargers Daily Links: Will Mike Williams Be Healthy Before Training Camp?

Chargers QB Philip Rivers excited for start of training camp in L.A. - Eric Williams
"I really am excited about embracing this chapter, both from an organizational standpoint and then personally in my career," he said. "It's a new market and new fan base. I do think over time, at least it seems like more and more of the fans that we've had that are in San Diego are kind of getting more and more warmed up and excited.

AFC West Q&A: Who will win the division and how many teams will make the playoffs? - ESPN.com
If Carr beats the Chiefs, the Raiders win the division. If he cannot beat them, Kansas City repeats. Both teams, though, will be in the playoffs again. And while it feels as though the Broncos are rebuilding, they are merely reloading and can make a push for the division with a year of experience for quarterback Trevor Siemian.

It’s been a good offseason because we have a good mixture of veteran leadership with young players who want to learn.

Mike Williams' health status a storyline to watch for Chargers - Eric Williams
Williams, the team’s first-round selection in 2017, sat out organized team activities and minicamp with a disc herniation in his lower back. Head coach Anthony Lynn is hopeful the former Clemson product will be healthy for the start of training camp, but it will likely take some time for Williams to get up to speed mentally and physically. It would not be surprising for Williams to start training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list just to make sure the back injury will not be a lingering issue.
