Last week, it was reported that the seventh overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft needed season ending back surgery, but that proved to be false.

Williams will, however, start his first training camp watching from the sidelines.

The Chargers also placed pro-bowlers safety Darrell Stuckey and cornerback Jason Verrett on the PUP list.
