Williams is tending to a labrum issue in his right shoulder, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Exiting Sunday's win at Houston after falling on the shoulder, Williams had to be content with a season-high eight catches for 70 yards and his third visit to the end zone in as many weeks. There is precedent for the second-year wideout playing through a torn labrum. During his final year at Western Oregon, he did just that and underwent offseason surgery. However, it's unclear how much the current concern will impact Williams this time around. His first opportunity to prove his health arrives at Wednesday's practice.

Williams is dealing with some shoulder soreness following Sunday's game against the Texans, but coach Mike McCoy expects him to be fine, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams came down on his shoulder during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, when he had at least 65 yards and scored a touchdown for the third straight game. One of this year's most pleasant fantasy surprises, it's encouraging to hear that Williams is simply sore and not nursing a more serious ailment. While his practice involvement should probably still be tracked this week, McCoy's update suggests the wideout isn't in danger of missing this Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Williams was forced out of Sunday's win over the Texans in the fourth quarter after suffering an apparent right shoulder injury, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit from the contest, Williams logged eight receptions on a team-high 14 targets for 70 yards, including a 21-yard TD. The wideout's status is now worth watching in advance of next Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Williams caught five passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Travis Benjamin (knee) sidelined Sunday, Williams saw a heavy amount of looks from Rivers, but managed to catch just five of his season-high 11 targets. Despite at times looking out of sync with his quarterback, Williams was able to parlay a beautiful throw by Rivers into a long touchdown catch, which would wind up being the final score for the Chargers on the afternoon. Even with a healthy Benjamin returning to the mix in the coming weeks, Williams should still see enough targets each week to make him a viable fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Williams (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
With Travis Benjamin inactive Sunday, Williams figures to continue to see his share of targets in the Chargers' Week 10 passing game, while fellow wideout Dontrelle Inman also figures to see an uptick in targets, thanks to Benjamin's injury.

Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given the fact the second-year wide receiver has played through a nagging knee injury for a handful of weeks now, it seems likely Williams will be available to play once again despite being a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday. And with Travis Benjamin (knee) listed as doubtful for Sunday, Williams could even see a slight uptick in targets if the speedy receiver is unable to play against the Dolphins.

Williams (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It seems likely that Williams' absence from Wednesday's practice was maintenance-related, as the second-year receiver was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday. Barring any unforeseen setback, Williams will likely be available Sunday against the Dolphins.

Williams (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gehlken adds that Williams' absence Wednesday was likely just maintenance-related, while adding that the status of Benjamin (who also missed the practice) is worth tracking this week, considering that he saw just seven snaps this past Sunday.

Williams snagged six of seven passes for 65 yards and a score in Sunday's win over Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd and now Williams is adding to the Chargers' big-body, small-school receiver legacy. The second-year man was supposed to serve a supporting role entering this season, but has taken huge strides in Keenan Allen's absence with at least five catches in five of his last seven games. He's been most effective going deep, with 11 catches of 20 or more yards, but Sunday's six-yard quick slant for a touchdown showed that Williams can use his frame to be a menace near the goal line as well.

Williams (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
As is fellow wideout Travis Benjamin, who also headed into the weekend listed as questionable, with Dontrelle Inman also in the mix, should either Benjamin or Williams be limited, or suffer any setbacks in the Chargers' Week 9 contest. Williams was slowed by the Broncos in Week 8, but assuming his knee holds up, he's a bounce-back candidate Sunday against the Titans' passing defense.
