Chargers ILB Demorrio Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15. With Donald Butler (groin) also sidelined, San Diego will likely turn to a rotation between Bront Bird and Andrew Gatchkar opposite Takeo Spikes. Bird played 19 snaps last week after Williams left the game and recorded six total tackles and an interception. Bird's role in the Chargers base and subpackage defenses is unclear, so owners in IDP leagues are best advised to avoid this situation.

Chargers LB Demorrio Williams is expected to see "sufficient snaps" at inside linebacker. Per the Union-Tribune San Diego, Williams has "impressed" this offseason. It's unclear how many snaps would be "sufficient," but it's likely more than the 69 Williams saw for the Chiefs last season. Second-year pro Jonas Mouton will be a higher upside backup to Donald Butler and Takeo Spikes at inside linebacker.

Chargers have reportedly agreed to terms with LB Demorrio Williams, formerly of the Chiefs, on a one-year contract. The 31-year-old will stay in the AFC West as a backup to Takeo Spikes and Donald Butler in San Diego. It's unlikely that Williams will be guaranteed a roster spot with Jonas Mouton ready for a bigger role.

Chiefs released LB Demorrio Williams. According to Pro Football Focus, Williams played just 73 defensive snaps last season as a backup linebacker. Turning 31 in July, Williams will have to battle for a roster spot no matter where he lands.
